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?

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!

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

I've owned my 3.6s for about 21 years and am experiencing a similar issue. I had my amp (Naim NAP300DR) updated about 1 1/2 years ago and that's when I first noticed an upper-mid/lower-upper harshness and "hashy" sound. I'm still not sure if the issue is in the speakers or elsewhere. I'm waiting for the speaker upgrades to become available and am also looking into a possible component issue. But--the 3.6s are great speakers and worth the effort.
