i am very pleased to read all the comments above and also to read that Rob is going to keep things going.   I would suspect that there is no more coverage under warranty given that he is essentially starting a new biz,  but i for one am just grate...

as a Thiel owner of over 30 years,  starting with the CS 2 and ending with the 2.7's,  i can attest to how great they  really are.   however i have had issues with the mid/tweeter drivers of the 2.7's,  and have had to replace two of them.  Luckil... 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
@mysticriver.  glad to hear it.   i too think it a no-brainer with the DSD DAC.  however because of the playback quality of cds through the DMP,  i have yet to go to ripping.   maybe some day.  I still have about 600 albums and a very old and love... 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
@Mysticriver.  greetings and let me say how sorry i am about the events you had to deal with.  I think losing my audio system would be the worst thing second only to losing my dogs.  How did  your physical music collection fair though all this?  R... 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
goodness i am surprised that no one has yet listed one of the greatest SS amps on the market, and it is a real bang for the buck.  that amp is the PS Audio BHK amp.   i have owned many amps over the years and this is the best ever.  Plus they buil...

hi Jafant,  thanks for your kind remarks.  I started with the 2 series in 1985 after selling a pair of Infinity 2.5 speakers.  they  were like a mini mini version of the IRS. In 1992 got the 2.2's.  kept them for about 15 years and got the 2.4's i...

jut in case someone needs this info thought i would post it.Hi Kent,   I have examined the CS2.7 coax that you returned. The failure mode was a buzz generated by the midrange cone. Upon closer inspection I found one of the joints between the dia...

me again.  i am suffering from the mid sixties disease CRS.   I realized i have posted here before so my  first statement above was not correct.

hi guys,  great reading and thanks to all.  this is my first time posting on this thread but wanted to add my 2.7 cents so to speak.   i have owned every generation of the 2 series since 1986.  2.0,  2.2,  2.4,  and now 2.7.   Each upgrade was wel...
