Thiel Owners

@jchussey , I didn't realize that the original tweeters were also in short supply. I'm so sorry to read that you had such difficulties with "High Performance Stereo". Your reporting of it is a service to us all. I'm confident that your warning will be heeded. 

Hi..

Im new here, have posted some posts on another thread, but no one there..

I am the owner of a Thiel collection for home cinema..

I have two Thiels 2.4 which are going to be upgraded to SE, but I'm not quite sure on what for brand capacitor/ coils.. Miflex (kpcu) or Duelund..

But before it get around to them I'm going to replace the resistances on my four SCS3-N coax speakers with mills.

And I've just ordered four SCS coax units from Rob Gillum which makes a total of five.. I've just ordered resistances for all these speakers (mills) and the coils (in all my own built speakers I only have copper foil coils from Mundorf) and the center speaker will be fitted with clarity caps and the other four, for Dolby Atmos, with Mundorf.. 

And then there's the subwoofer... Thiel TSW 12.1.. 

I'll post some pictures when I'm done..

Just a question on the 2.4 upgrade to SE.. is it preferable to use a single capacitor with 14 and 28 uF (when I go for Duelund, I'll be ordering these values if that would be better..) or the combinations of 13+1 and 27+1, like it is now. And if I go for 14 instead of 13+1, would I have to change anything else (coils/ conductance or resistance values)?

Have a nice day

Welcome! Good to see you here. Stand by until one of our DIY guys chimes in to address your query. The CS 2.4 loudspeaker is a Honey. Even better once upgraded to "SE" status. I look forward in reading more about your Musical taste and system.

What are the Serial Numbers (S/N) on your pair?

Happy Listening!

   For years I've been lamenting that "New Thiel" seemed to have entirely thrown out all the info on "Real Thiel's" comprehensive website.  For me, that included the page of zilllions of links for every speaker made: technical supplements, reviews, owner manuals, marketing brochures, all the way back to the Model 01.  I don't know why I didn't do this years ago, nor have I seen anyone else on this forum bring it up.  I simply brought up archive.org ("the wayback machine") and looked for Thielaudio.com. 

Everything has been saved!  I just picked this one url and I can get to every pdf, paper, review (that's still on the web), even five open positions for hire.  There were many dates of different updates, but rather than crawl through the whole website history I'll offer up this link that seems to recreate the 4/12/2010 capture of the entire website.  Hope it works for the rest of you via this this.

Wow @sdecker , great find!
