Hi all. New to this thread - really because I had no idea this existed, but glad it does. I'm the (VERY) proud owner of several (some past) pairs of Thiel speakers (1.2, 1.6, 2, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4's). I fell in love with Thiel's since the first day I listened to them when I mistakenly walked into Omni Sound in Addison (Dallas sub) thinking it was just another stereo store I hadn't been to in about 1986/7. Ended up buying a pair of 1.2's and a B&K ST-140 and still have both. At some point I gave away the 2's and the 2.2's (for very little $) because the persons that I gave these to were listening to crap speakers but had good electronics (one had Mac stuff they other had something else just don't remember).
I recently acquired a nice pair of 2.4's and have been "fixing" them as the previous owner had no idea there were holes in the drivers, the bucking mags fell off of the woofers and various other abnormal things - but thought they sounded just fine - I think his hearing aids were on the blink personally. Anyway, Rob, and now Gary, have helped me tremendously though the years and now helping me with these 2.4's. Gary has rebuilt the coax drivers, helped with various parts and recently acquired a set of the Clarity Caps used in the 2.4SE's to bring mine up to the latest spec - or so I thought until I began reading this post over the past week or so.
In the process of gluing the bucking mags back onto the woofers and going to replace the caps in the coax section of the xover, but thought, what else should I replace on the coax board since I'm basically going to need to move some stuff around.
Being a noob to the thread - what else should I (or MUST) replace/upgrade that will make these already gorgeously sounding speakers even better. Not really concerned about cost as long as I'm not spending thousands (but replacing these with something better is moving into the $10,000-15,000 category anyway) and open to any and all suggestions - I sort of an engineer hack to begin with so fire away.
