"density of sound"I keep hearing this phrase coming up when describing the sound of Thiel speakers.  Is this a special characteristic of first order filter?  Or is it a matter of speaker voicing?For example, if I were to design my speakers using 4...

 I might also compare foil and wire coils. Hi beetlemania,In my experience, wire coils sound slightly more lively and forward vs. foil coils.  Foil coils sound a bit warmer and slightly over-damped on the bass.Everything considered, I may actua...

We working on upgrading the whole crossovers with better parts. Are you also planning to upgrade the xover wiring?  Based on what you've seen, is it easy to replace the wires?

Ok, lots more air (very impressive!!) I feel that the stock CS2.4 does lack a bit of air or I call it "treble glow".  In my previous post I said it probably because the stock caps may be the the culprit.  I can't wait to get mine upgraded.Thank...

Don't know what you specific mean with listening experience, but I am a audio lover for many years and have build up a nice audio setup. I think he meant if you could share your impressions of the CS2.4 sound with the cap upgrade.  Thanks.

Anyway, in a parallel universe where Thiel still exists with the sound that we have come to love. But what if just for fun ...I would partition Thiel into three distinct product lines that can leverage the driver technology from the time-coherent...

Our upgrades are considerably more extensive and expensive and not yet finalized. Hopefully we'll see your final product soon.

Not yet, pretty soon you'll be getting some early reports. Thank you Tom for the update.  For some reason, I thought some of the Mod's have been available.  But good luck with your works.

Just curious, has anyOne received either Tom or beetlemania xover mod?

I think the new owners may not have understood the nature of the speaker market.  In speaker designs, there are a lot of good brands.  If you want something, most likely there are ten brands will compete to offer you that "something".  So it's not... 
Why are my SF Venere S Speakers not sounding as warm?
In my opinion, a well designed speaker should not sound bright because of inferior electronics or cables.  Front end equipment can modify the sound of the speaker somewhat but they cannot change the sound such that it will be unacceptably bright.

I gave heavy consideration to the Mcap supreme. It’s said to be quite good. One reason I’m going with Clarity is that Jim Thiel et al. did many comparisons when picking caps for the SE version. I don’t know if they tried Mundorfs but probably. T...

Thank you beetlemania. Your insights are very helpful. I was looking to get to work on it next week, but since my handy skills are that of a caveman, I am not sure I can have it finished any time soon.But I will post my upgrade results once everyt...

First I don't mean to take this thread off topic.  Maybe just slightly side way.  But has anyone heard a speaker with concentric midrange/tweeter?   I can think of Kef but I personally have not heard it myself.The reason I asked is that I am tryin...
