Has anyone had any experiences with rebuilt coax driver for the CS2.4.  One of my coax driver stopped working.  I need to send it to Rob for rebuild.  Rob told me in the email that the rebuilt unit should have the same spec as the original one and...

It looks like the speakers drivers are from SB Acoustic: https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-6-7-woofers-satori/satori-6-mw16tx-4-textreme-cone-woofer-4-ohm/  
ATC active vs. passive
Another variable to consider is in the active option, is it using DSP or using analog xovers?  You can have active but without DSP. If using DSP, I am assuming the speakers take the digital signal directly from the cd player, perform DSP, then us...

What other gear and cabling are you planning for the system? Not in the near future.  I currently have a Pass XP-10 preamp.  If I have to change one thing, it would be the preamp for a tube unit.  My system is all SS so the midrange is a bit on...

I am back :-). I sold my CS2.4 a few years ago, and after that I regretted ever since. And I’ve been waiting for a pair showing up here at Audiogon for a few months. Just a week ago, one pair came up for $1500 and I wasted no time getting them. ...

There currently a pair of CS3.6 at Audiogon.  Quite tempting. Could anyone compared the CS3.6 to CS3.7?  I've heard the earlier Thiel tends to sound a little bright.  
What is A.R.T? I have to say this is a little too much for me.
Wait a minute.  Am I reading it correctly?  It costs $12500 per piece?  What planet I am living in?  
What is A.R.T? I have to say this is a little too much for me.
The equipment covers are already connected to ground, so if EMI hits the components, the covers are grounded to absorb the EMI, so I am not sure how A.R.T would help anymore.

Yeah, does anyone know where the aluminum tweeter was sourced from?  I remember I've read it somewhere that is is from Seas.

Same goes for cars; yeah, you can buy a car based on specifications alone, but specifications don't tell you what the leather smells like, how the door shuts so quietly, and how the engine sounds when you turn it on and how fun it feels when you ...

^^^ I see that your DAC can take either spdif or usb. In general asynchronous usb is better than spdif everything else being equal - though it will also depend on implementation.
