Will I find the exact replacement I need that will bring harmony to the existing crossover? Not likely, but chances are good that I'll find something 'good enough'. The thing is it's not like replacing a Mazda 6 with a Toyota Camry.  If you h...

Chaning any of the origial drivers almost ensure the need of a new xover and since the Thiel is time-phase coherent, it's not something that can be done by just anybody.  One almost have to use the original driver as replacement.

I don't follow this. Why would you not be able to choose either single *or* dual binding posts? Why would outboard eliminate a solution with a single BP? If you have an outboard xo, then you would need two separate wire runs from the outboard ...

Beetle regardding outboard xo's didn't Tom say something about the length of the wire to the drivers form the xo being significant to the design? Maybe not. If there is no adjustments for design criteria going to an outboard xo I would rather ge... 
What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price?
It would be the Sonus Faber SE17 for me.

IME, put the crossover outboard improve clarity. I think there may be an aesthetic issue.  One of the thing I like the most about the CS2.4 is its well-proportioned.  They look just right.  With an outboard xover box, that could be an issue ......

Now I am looking to buy speakers used that new would be $20k- $30k and hope to pick them up for $10-$15k. I have given up the idea of buying new speakers for $10,000 or less. It's interesting that speakers cost so much nowaday.  $20K-$30 is ab...

Out of curiosity with some of the discussions on speaker pricing, how much do you think the Thiel CS2.4 would be retailed for in today money (if they are built today?)Also I know that most speaker manufacturers use CNC machines to cut the panel in...

Hi beetlemania,As for the cables, I was wondering if you also changed the cables that go from the xover boards to the coax and bass drivers?Thanks.

a fun journey....your results may vary.... as long as you have unlimited funds ... if you know what I mean.

Hi Tom,It was very well said.  I understand the nature of the problem completely.  I guess all I can say is that in a world where we have equipment makers such as DAC, preamp, amp, and last but not least speakers, and of course recording studios, ... 
Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
You can lead a horse to water.... If you build it, the horse will drink lols.I’ve had many customers claim to hear an improvement in clarity from the addition of subs without highpass filtering the mains, and I’ve heard it too, but cannot expla...
