Thiel Owners

Hey wire nuts - I've gone down a rabbit hole with Steven Hill about wire configurations, pros and cons and theoretical considerations that are way above my pay grade. I'm testing samples and configurations that he sends.

Also, I have developed some observations about the normal vs parallel runs using my OCOS and Morrow wire. I'll chime in after Beetle shares his experience with us.
And - someone here reported his 2.7s as having straight (non twisted) internal wire. I checked with Rob who said that all the 2.7s (all classic Thiels, period) had the normal Thiel wire. So those 2.7s were someone's hotrod. Back to the lab.

Thanks Tom
Rob hasn't gotten back to me , I'll try calling him tomorrow and see if I can send him pictures .
As for someone's hot rod ? I purchased them thru Rob but they were sent from Tennessee ! Something is fishy .

Thank You for the update attempting to connect w/ Rob.
Perhaps you have a unique pair of CS 2.7 loudspeakers?
Very cool.

Upon connecting w/ Rob, give him our best from this forum/thread.

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the wiring update. Looking forward in reading about impressions and thoughts from testing samples. 
Have fun!

Happy Listening!

Robert - oops, I forgot where you got them. Nonetheless, they are unique, and were modded after New Thiel went to Nashville. I can speculate that New Thiel was experimenting with different internal wiring. I know they were experimenting with ultra-caps, etc. I wonder if your 2.7s have better than stock XO parts.

Dennis Crossen, the development engineer, was quite experienced and talented. I suspect that whatever you have has merit. Considering my present exploration of wire configurations, I certainly would love to learn how your 2.7s compare to stock. Can you arrange a comparison and give us a report?
