Thiel Owners

Anyone looking for a pair of 2.3 coaxial drivers? I wish these were new/old stock 3.6 tweeters. I’d like to buy and compare unused aluminum tweeters with my new replacement soft dome tweeters.

prof - black paint is typically carbon pigment, which is light-weight as pigments go.

The issue would be added mass proportional to the extant moving mass. I suspect that in a woofer or midrange, the added mass would be functionally inconsequential, but in a tweeter it might matter.

I'm interested enough to try a light misting coat on my CS1.6 woofers. I can sweep before and after and compare output including all harmonics and time domain performance.

I'll use lacquer so I can wipe it off if necessary.

Tom,

That would be a really cool experiment.!  I'd like to read about the results.
