Thiel Owners

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.

Thank You for your continued hard work and resourcefulness regarding our 3.5 owners.  I sent a PM as well. Hope that you are well today and enjoying good music.  Happy Listening!

HI TOM,   owning 3.7's means i will not see any updates for years but it is fantastic what you are doing.  Peace Bro

Ron - your 3.7s are State of Thiel Art and I have plenty to learn before claiming to improve them. But, I already am generating ideas.
