Thiel Owners

Many thanks Tom and to all others who have graciously commented thus far!  I figured the 2.2 tweeters might be compatible matches for the 3.6s given the same manufacturing year (1993).  I've already been in a dialogue with Rob and he informed me that he could probably repair  them if necessary.  Currently mine are in good working order however, my 16 year old son and I kid around about NOT blowing the them; often referring to Jim Thiel who apparently was prone to blowing his on the 3.7s during shows in the day, lol.  Glad to be on board the forum guys.  I currently have my 3.6s powered by ARC DS 450Ms and loving the sound!  Just recently added Signal Magic power cords (replacing the stock cords) and found the center mid-band to have more presence as well as more pronouced bass and soundstage imaging.  Looking forward to more as they continue to burn in; so far about 100 hours or so. Eventually, I might look to refurbishing/upgrading the crossovers and I'm sure I'll have many questions for you all along the way. I'll keep you posted.

bumpin around on youtube, thought this might be of interest. Rob Gillum being interviewed. You don’t have to wonder if he's a believer.

Very interesting tidbits about Thiel cabinet designs and your thoughts about how to improve them.
As said by that very wise gentleman, Willie Wonka: “the suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.”
In the case of the 3.6 upgrades, only the first part of that quote applies — but I do appreciate all the work and planning that is involved. 
It sounds like the 3.6R rebuild will push my admittedly finite DIY skills to the limit! Can’t wait. 👍
