Thiel Owners

@cascadesphil 
I cannot imagine modifying the filters for the CS3.7 (really, any speaker but especially first order designs) based on John Atkinson’s quasi-anechoic measurements! That’s whack.

 I actually exchanged messages with that ebayer (his ebay history is spotless!) as I was buying my 2.4SEs. He had an ad for tweaking the 2.3 and 2.4 XO. I was flirting with the upgrade idea even before exchanging ideas with Tom Thiel. I am super glad I worked with Tom instead! 

Maybe it's just my ears, but I haven't heard the harshness described in my 2.7s

Poor recordings can emphasize sound in that region. 

YMMV

I believe that one of the Panel members reached out to Rob Gillum regarding those filters? The answer was not to change any of the OEM parts.

Happy Listening!

Your hearing is still healthy as the CS 2.7 is not harsh in presentation nor sound. Hope you are well this early Summer evening.

Happy Listening!
