@biannuzzi22 The original woofers and amplifier can be repaired. Are you sure the woofers are bad? Could the amp be feeding them a distorted signal?

What's your budget for a new amp? What woofers will you be installing in your SS2 cabinet?

Greetings Thiel fans,  i have been using Thiel speakers since 1986 starting with a pair of 2.0's and am now enjoying a pair of 3.7's that I got from Rob about five years ago.  In a very recent correspondence,  he suggested that I add some resistors to the mid/tweeter driver.   see his note below. Does anyone here have any experience with adding those resistors to their 3.7's which have the black bezel drivers?  Thanks for any input.

Hi Kent,

"Glad to hear from you. I have also found that placing a small 5 watt, 2.5 ohm resistor in series with the positive wire, makes them sound great, and more sonically balanced.  It seems to me that the CS3.7 is a little bright. This will solve the issue.  In the beginning the silver bezel coaxes had a tuning resistor added to the mid and tweeter, as needed. I do have the 5 watt, 3 ohm resistors in stock. The resistors should be added to both the midrange and the tweeter, in series with the positive wire to the coax mid and tweeter. 4 resistors are on their way via regular mail. The original resistors were .33 ohms to .75 ohms. Which were used on the silver bezel coaxes."
