| Thiel Owners cawgijoe, I installed PowerPlene 1.2 speakers in a conventional 2x4 wall cavity (studs 16" o.c.) without problem, though my sheetrock was 5/8" thick, not 1/2". Long dimension of the speakers are parallel to the studs. I don't think the additional... | |
| Thiel Owners biglhemp, I've had success with a model CS2 tweeter with a similar problem using an empty toilet paper roll placed over the tweeter and gently sucking. Not sure if the 3.7 tweeter would likewise respond to this, but I was afraid to use anything mo... | |
| Thiel Owners The recent mention of the CS2 piqued my interest and perhaps the Thiel hive-mind can help me. I have a pair that I bought in 1990 (sn 11263, 11264) that I retired last year with used 2.4s, which I then upgraded using Rob GIllum's caps & outrig... | |
| Thiel Owners I just replaced my SCS1 with an MCS1 to go with the 2.4s I upgraded a few months ago with Rob’s SE parts. The seller also had an SW1, which I also picked up, so my theater system is now close to the form the theater gods intended. The discussion o... | |

| Thiel Owners Thanks, tomthiel & beetlemania for your info and vote of confidence. I actually did Rob's upgrade to the caps without removing the xo board, which is what he recommended. I did, however, release the board from the speaker case to do the work. ... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthielWill this upgrade be a board that replaces the existing board or a package of components for the user to assemble/install on the existing board? I recently upgraded my 2.4s using Rob's parts and am very pleased with the results, and I'd co... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...Thanks for the welcome. I've been lurking here for a while and in fact, found out about the CS2.4 cap upgrade here, so thanks to the contributors for that. The 2.4s replaced my CS2.0s that I originally acquired in 1990. I replaced the dri... | |
| Thiel Owners andy2I just replaced the caps in my recently purchased used CS2.4s (sn 1030 & 1031) with the kit sold by Rob Gillum. beetlemania's note about removing the passive radiator is a good one and I would add that I was surprised at how long the scre... |
