Thiel Owners

This makes me wonder if a cheap crossover is why I never warmed up to my MCS1.  I bought it off Amazon in 2012 or later during the brief time Thiel was on Amazon.  I love my 2 2s and 3.7s but I never found the MCS1 to be on the same level.  I bought it as a center channel for movies and I don't really watch that many movies so that's part of it.  It could just be that I typically ran it off of an HT receiver but I ran my 2 2s off of one and still found them great.  hmmm.

I've always been curious how many 2.7s Thiel sold, since that was the last model that came out and it was just before Thiel changed hands and went to a new design.  So I'm imagining not many.
Any idea Tom?

Thank You for the Middle Crossing update. I know that you will find another space for your Musical instruments and Audio businesses.
It is refreshing to read that S/N 220-230 possibly have the FST/China XO.
Perhaps my pair side-stepped this issue? 
The CS 2.4 model is a darling/honey of a loudspeaker to my ears.
I can hardly await to see how your updated XO interpretation turns out!

When you you travel to Virginia?

Happy Listening!

I am thinking that not too many pairs of models CS 2.7 and CS 3.7 were sold. I could be wrong in my estimate? Both arte very fine loudspeakers.

Happy Listening!

JA - what I meant to say is that the transition from Lex to FST occurred somewhere around the #225 mark because I heard of a 215-16 Lex pair and a 235-6 FST pair. All the FST parts are made in China, on glass boards with CYC parts. We have previously addressed the particulars;  I consider those FST boards a level down from Lexington boards.
