Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6?

@gpaulmg1: just curious what amp you are using with the 3.6’s? 

My understanding is is that these are lower efficiency speakers that take some trial and error to get a proper impedance match for best sound. They only sound so-so when paired with a lower powered amp. There is a really lengthy Thiel thread that is ongoing and I’d swear I read something from Tom Thiel stating that there is a crossover upgrade being developed. There is also still a Thiel restoration shop (I believe) in Lexington. Not sure if it is just for the cabinet refinishing or if they also do driver/crossover upgrades and repair. 

Another question about the 3.6’s: how do you have them attached to he floor? Are you using spikes, stands or some other tweak? Just curious which aberration you are seeking to suppress or which attribute you are trying to improve upon.

@jafant - is there something I need to do to get to the Thiel owners thread? I’m not sure how to look it up.

Hello - I just watched a short PS Audio YouTube video discussing the importance of replacing dried out capacitors in speaker crossover networks over 20 years old. 

I was just wondering if there is a tutorial, or better yet if anyone has either a kit or upgrade service to renew whatever capacitors are in the Thiel CS 3.6 crossover. 

Maybe be some of the veiling that I am getting with my system, most notably my difficulty discerning the meaning of lyrics/vocals without reading the lyrics on the album liner - could be brought up to modern levels of perfect focus/clarity. 

I’m loving my Thiel CS 3.6’S that I purchased used about 7 or 8 years ago and paid $1150 for. They sit on the Sound Anchors stands. I do need a recommendation on what type of “hockey puck” to set in the space between the bottoms of the speakers and the tops of the Sound Anchors stands. 

Thanks for any suggestios all.

@unsound thanks! Any idea what these pending upgrades are going to cost or what one could expect with respect to changes in sound quality from the CS-3.6.
