Nice catch!  Good to see you again.  Happy Listening!

Smoking good deal on those 2.4s. I’d almost buy ‘em just for the spare drivers. 10-12 hour drive for me during winter, no thanks.

Andy - I can share information, but can't send drawings until Thiel Audio's bankruptcy is settled.

You are correct; the 2.7 and 3.7 have 3 separate drivers with electrical crossovers, unlike the 2.4 which is electrically 2-way plus the mechanical mid-tweeter xo.

There is no time compensation in those crossovers. The coincident alignment is achieved geometrically via the position of the coaxial midrange and tweeter.

I currently have a pair of Thiel 3.6 speaks powered by a pair of Classe Audio DR-8 amps I use in mono mode. In mono mode, the DR-8’s put out almost 600 watts at 4 ohms and sound very good with the Thiels. I also have a Classe DR-5 pre amp.

Just located a Krell KSA 300S amp local to me and toying with the idea of adding the Krell to replace the DR-8’s. Have not heard the Krell recently, but thought it would add more bass to the Thiels.

Does anyone have any thoughts on these two amps?

Good to see you again. There are  a few of you guys that enjoy those Classe' DR power amps. I have been considering a Krell FPB series power amp. I was considering a KSA series power amp until I was advised that it is best suited with a dedicated line plus a 30A breaker. Otherwise, the 300S is a serious power plant.  Happy Listening!
