I have to ask , where any of the values on your resistors, capacitors 
or inductors changed ? 
When researching inductors of the same value both larger gauge wire 
and foil both had less resistance .
As TT pointed out that those resistance changes would require 
chnages on the crossovers .
The difference in ERSE 2.2mH 18 wg .781ohm and Solen's .76ohm
is small but it still has me concerned ( especially after TT's info ) .
Most likely I'll end up using ERSE and after TT's wire experiments
I'm going to install Cardas 18awg solid enamel coated wire , covering it with a cotton sleeve for the mid/tweeter speakers while keeping the Cardas stranded 15.5awg for the bass .
This turned into a more complicated project than I hoped .

@jafant I was streaming this on TIDAL or Qobuz though I assume the CD or LP should be the same. It is very nice sounding release. I listened to it late last night on my headphones and loved it.

The passage that is giving my CS3.7’s a hard time is at 39 seconds onwards where George starts humming. That is what I meant by a ’hot’ sounding sonic. I think every time he hums my COAXs gets distorted.

I would tend to believe I have some damage but it sort of defiles explanation given how the speakers are used.

tomthiel:
Do the screws to the passive radiators of the 3.6’s need to be tight? I checked all the screws to the midrange and tweeter (a couple needed a 1/16 of a turn or so) but the radiator screws had quite a bit of play. Just wondering if they are for position adjustment or for coupling to the baffle.
Thanks,

This probably isn't relevant, but years ago I had Thiel 3.6's driven by Muse model 175 monoblocks.  On one particular CD, a Chandos recording of Martinu piano sonatas, there was a short passage that always seemed to excite one of the tweeters, causing a clipping-like distortion (amps were far from overdriven).  No other music caused this, and the same passage on the same CD played on several other systems caused no problems.  The exact reason was never discovered.  I moved on to Proac Response 2.5's.

Hi All,

is there any place I can pick up new drivers for my Thiel CS6’s? I think all of my woofer and coaxial drivers need replacement or refurb.

please advise.

thanks!
