I hope that you are well and ready to kick off Spring starting this Sunday.

Thank You for being a strong supporter in this thread and the advancement of our beloved Thiel Audio loudspeakers.

Happy Listening!

Tom, can you confirm that in your view the most effective (both, sonically and economically) upgrade for 3.5s is the 8.2uf cap replacement in the tweeter feed?

magnet7 - yes, that 8uF tweeter blocking cap is the best bang for the buck. Psychoacoustically, its function range in the midrange and treble is where our hearing is most sensitive. 

jafant - the pleasure is mine. Good work here, guy.

magnet7 - my latest schematic (22dec'87) shows an 8uF (not 8.2) which had replaced the original 7uF spec.

@tomthiel - Yes, I know that according to the scheme it should be an 8uf.  I ordered the 8.2uf because the Clarity CSA does not exist in 8uf, only in 8.2uf.
The technician who is helping me with this upgrade project says that a difference of 0.2uf is not relevant.  What's your point of view?
