| Thiel Owners ronkent - As of May, Rob has retired. Gary was Thiel's customer service agent and Jim's assistant. Rob helps Gary with any sticky issues or techniques. Seamless continuity. | |
| Thiel Owners tmsrdg - your 3.7s are the final, revision 2. All CS3.7s crossovers were produced by FST in China. After #880, they have the final coaxes and crossovers. All cabinets and final assembly were made in Kentucky. | |
| Thiel Owners Further complication is that the CS2.7s were built in Lexington with traditional components. Early 3.7s were also, but then 3.7 production was moved to China with differences in all components. So, the 2.7 might get a leg up due to its home-base i... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof - I really appreciate you sharing your 2.7/3.7 selection journey. Your lived experience with those models is extensive; mine is not. Your observations parallel mine from a single audition. Speakers are very complex organisms. Each and every ... | |
| Thiel Owners brunner 007 - all good advice here, as usual. My thoughts apply to some matters of historical model development. My relevant experience includes living with the CS2.4, but neither the 2.7 or 3.7. However, I did hear the 2.7 and 3.7 in the Thiel l... | |
| Thiel Owners tat - a geometric problem deserves a geometric solution. Since the CS5 baffle was cast, the complex curves only had to be created in the pattern. I was perplexed that Jim never went there. TT | |
| Thiel Owners CS5s. The difference between the 5 and its 'improved' version is that Jim's newly developed woofers weren't ready when the 5 had to be released. The improved woofers incorporated copper shunt rings for more stable motor response. Those i woofers a... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant - we do have a robust stable up upgrades that address issues beyond classic Thiel's scope. None of Jim's work is being altered. The jujitsu is attracting serious talent to form a viable company. I will no-doubt have relevant products for ... | |
| Thiel Owners Jon and other impatients- My hope is to join forces with CSS and other talent to re-incorporate Thiel Audio. I have a clear vision and a strong group of significant upgrade offerings. What I lack is critical mass to attract capital for the key i... | |
| Thiel Owners Jon- stay tuned. I and my brother John also run CS1.2s. I experience a high frequency blackness that I will document through FF replacement therapy. I’ll post results here. Gary has FF and instructions. | |
| Thiel Owners Gary has been converting/upgrading the CSS website. Try him again | |
| Thiel Owners If you sent contact info, ‘gon may have scrubbed it. | |
| Thiel Owners Guy48065 - contact Gary Dayton at Coherent Source Service. Tom | |
| Thiel Owners foamcutter - congratulations on your purchase. The CS2.2 is dear to me, having served as my location recording monitor and small venue playback for 35 years. I have recently been developing performance upgrades, and the 2.2s have served as workho... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the instruction on the Copland. What do you suppose accounts for the Kinki Studio superiority with Thiels? |
