Thiel Owners

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. 

Prof - my notes indicate there were about 1000 pair of 3.7s and 1500 pair of 2.7s sold. I'll comment further when I find time.
