Thiel Owners

Another tidbit of information.  As I mentioned, Rob told me this was the last pair of 3.5 mids he can do.  Moving forward, here is his response.  " From this point going forward, I will be replacing the CS3.5 mid with the Scan Speak 10F-8424G. Along with a custom adapter plate, and trim ring, it will be available soon."
He said this Scan Speak has the closest specs to the original Scan Speak

I am modeling the old drivers for comparison and compensation in the replacement drivers for their Renaissance-life.

bluetone -  the 3.5 drivers and crossovers would be helpful for my modeling efforts. I would offer them for further use once I am finished with them. I also snagged some CS3 drivers and EQ on ebay, and intend to create an update strategy for all versions of CS3 and 3.5 to better than new functioning. 
If applicable, please PM me to arrange shipping. Thanks.

Thank You for the tidbit for Tom and others interested in the 3.5 model.Happy Listening!

Tom, the specs look very similar except for the power rating of the 10F, which is at 30 Watt. Any concerns about this? I believe the current mid range was rated at 150 Watt.

Rules - my concern is to thoroughly investigate the parameters and then compensate as necessary. I will develop the Thiele-Small parameters of the old and new drivers to judge how the changes interact with the crossover. Furthermore, since first-order crossovers utilize the midrange over a very broad range, the exact placement and shape of the response anomalies are important. The new crossover must match the response profile of the new driver.
All that said, Rob has been shopping for a drop-in replacement and this driver has been recommended to him by knowledgeable sources. Power disparity would matter - 30 watts raises questions, but the 10F is our best present solution. My job is to subject it to further scrutiny.
