Thiel Owners

Beetle- regarding odd 2.4SE variants. Rob has done lots of customer upgrades from stock to SE xo status, either at his shop or providing parts and supervising. He uses CC SA caps, according to the original design when the SA was CC’s best. The CSA is a league up, but n my opinion.

Thank You for the CS 2.4 confirmation. I miss Wes (R.I.P.). His review is one for the ages.

Happy Listening!

What kind of cost/price is involved with CC SA caps or SCA caps ?

Happy Listening!

I wish Rob could hear my 2.4s. His upgrades can go a whole ‘nuther level, IMO, given that he is probably only replacing the coax feed caps with the SAs.

The SE version also received rave reviews from Enjoy the Music and Ultra Audio. I wonder about the crossovers in the review pair (probably the same pair for both reviews?). Were they Lex or FST. And if FST, with polyester or polypropylene caps? I also wonder if the “glassy” midrange anomaly I heard was because of overheated resistors from a previous owner. I was mostly happy when the SEs arrived in my system but they were not without flaw. @tomthiel the upgraded boards made this one sublime speaker!

Wes Phillips was one of my favorite reviewers. I trusted his ear and he was also an excellent writer.

CSA caps : corrected.

Happy Listening!
