Thiel Owners

I thought about purchasing this PX02 Thiel passive XO that is made for my CS3.6 (just in case) or a CS6, but I'm so happy with my bass that I can never invision me needing a sub. Does anyone know what it would take to change this PX02 to work for a CS2.4? https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649444380-thiel-passive-crossover-px02/

jon- Rob Gillum at CoherentSource Service makes the PXO modification to match the Thiel speaker of your choice.

audiojan- your experience is classic: distance from the walls makes for better image and evenness, but those very walls were reinforcing the bass. In your situation a subwoofer makes sense . . . unless you can move the speakers out of the alcove into a more normal, rectangular space.

unsound - indeed. They are pigs to drive well. This year I have read and studied widely, and the over-arching problem of Thiel speakers is driving them. The amps referenced on this forum work and many of those are the amps Jim used in development. Krell fpb, Levinson monoblocs, big Bryston, big CJ, Classe DR. The common thread in those designs is their ability to deliver large current streams at high voltage without distress. Others here have recommended other amps, which are no doubt suitable, but I have not heard them. However, when an amp can't deliver the required current, the litany of complaints arises.

Welcome! audiojanas you discovered, once the CS 2.4 is dialed-in, magic happens.I look forward in reading more about your audio journey. A home's alcove can really add something special to any system. Placement is key.
Happy Listening!

jonandfamily-as above, consult Mr. Rob Gillum. Hope you guys are enjoying Summer.Happy Listening!

tomthiel- the speakers are in the larger open space, not in the alcove. My office is in the alcove right off my listening room. The space they're in is about 12' wide and 16' long with acoustic panels on the long wall behind the speakers. The ceiling is tall, but since it's in the attic, it slopes from about 5' up to the peak.

I will add a subwoofer to augment the bass of the Thiel's.
