Thiel Owners

Thanks for your interesting comments regarding the 2.4s vs 3.6s. If sounds like your carefully researched upgrade for the 3.6s will be worth the wait! I don’t recall if you previously mentioned that the 3.6 upgrade would also include improvements to the enclosure stiffness. Would you be able to address that further and provide additional thoughts on what you’re planning for enclosure improvements? Would it be part of some kind of kit or would it require DIY and woodworking skills?
Damm - I managed to keep this disease in-check for many years but it’s back with a vengeance now!

Glad we’re on the same wavelength and of the same opinion re our 3.6s. It sounds like we’ll have to have patience while Tom develops his ideas and research on the changes for the 3.6Rs.
I will have to decide whether I send my tweeters and mids to be checked/rebuilt by CSS now (to get a jump on refurbishing my 3.6s) or wait until the updates are available before doing so. Either way, the 3.6s are keepers.

Locating a nice pair of 2.4s was a lucky find.
I agree that Thiels can sound very good  with a wide range of electronics and really amazing when mix is just right. IMO one of the best features of Thiel speakers is their transparency to the source; I think this is a key reason so many of us own, hold onto and decide to upgrade them rather than jump ship to another brand. 
We’re a lucky bunch - with Tom T. keeping the faith alive, Rob G. keeping all those models running smoothly and a devoted and knowledgeable fan-base!
