Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6?

I have a pair of Thiel CS 3.6 that I’ve owned for about 12 years. I think they’re fantastic. 
Just curious... have there been driver advancements that I might benefit from? 
Has anyone tried swapping out drivers and if so, were you pleased with the results?

@masi61, cap kits are part of the pending upgrades.

The OEM cross-overs have components included to compensate for specific driver irregularities. Any substitute driver replacements will probably necessitate cross-over changes to maintain performance virtues.

A word of caution; even on some of the older models that might appear to use off the shelf drivers are actually made to order, modified for Thiel versions. Standard, over the counter drivers won’t work the same.

@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.

Feel free to join us over on the Thiel Owners thread. There are quite a few fans of the 3.6 loudspeaker. It appears that you have an extensive history w/ Thiel Audio- my kind of Audiophile.


Happy Listening!
