Thiel Owners

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?

Thaks Tom

I didn't want to speculate until I was able to talk with R.G. ,
I was thinking that somehow the last speakers being assembled 
were shipped to " ThielAudio " in Tennessee unassembled and they were using this wire for thier new line of speakers .
There were 9 2.7s and 9 1.7s sold by them on E-bay .

I live in Eugene Oregon so comparing them would be great if there are any 2.7 owners around .
I would love to exchange pictures of the crossovers or at least see what they look like having come from Kentucky .
Mine have Erse , Topmay and Clarity caps including one made for Thiel , 
with Erse and Xicon resistors ,
I can't see who makes the inductors .

While I have been second guessing myself on re-wiring the speakers ,
this uniqueness or oddity might give me the incentive to go ahead with the project .

When I was looking to replace my Carver M1.0t 
Arye and Pass labs were considered but still way over my budget 
even in the used market , maybe someday.
