Re: Thiel CS 3.5 bass eq and subs please see my thoughts previously posted here:

With subs I recommend using the eq at the 40 Hz setting.

@tomthiel, after (and please excuse me if I'm beating a dead horse on this) the lack of a truly balanced eq, the 3.5's grills seemed like one of the biggest shortcomings. Do love the baffles. I very much look forward to your grill upgrades for the 3.5's!

@oblgny, you don't have to conduct your business here in order to be included in the forums. I for one would miss you.

Unsound - I concur with the merit of balanced EQ, and balanced operation in general. I am not the guy to develop that solution; I hope that someday we might find that resource. But the issue of over-driving with "modern" high-impact music and effects still persists. Getting THAT much output from a 10" woofer and 5" midrange with first order slopes is a really tall order.
I'm prototyping a grille that looks stock (for history), but is made of 1/4" round bar outboard and proper roundings inboard. Should be pretty transparent. Also, a properly rounded inboard frame with no outboard element - no fabric, just finish the baffle curves like the CS2.2. Come to think of it, the 3.5 development prototype had just such a half-frame.

@tomthiel, Is there an eta and/or price projection on the 3.5 grill upgrade?
