Thiel Owners

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.

jon - Thiel kept quiet about their Chinese sourcing. The Home Theater products has FST parts, then entire boards from the mid 1990s. As far as I know, the MCS was always FST boards.
