Hey Fellow Thiel Gonners! Wanted to concur with Prof and Tomthiel about just leaving the 3.6s spikeless on hardwood floors. I experimented with spikes for a while and all the warmth got zapped. I've just left them alone on my hardwood ever sinc...

Hey Thiel Gonners! Just finished my last round of updates for my 3.6 XOs. My midranges came back from Rob a week ago: he replaced the voice coils and surrounds. He was even so thoughtful to included solder samples for me to ensure the proper term...

Hey Thiel 'Gonners! Just finished my last round of updates for my 3.6s including the big 100uf ClarityCap CSAs and a handful of Mills MRA-12s among other componets. The sound has, for a lack another word: CLARITY! The bass is much more control...

Hey fellow Thiel 'Gonners! Just wanted to give you updates on my 3.6 XO project. Thanks for all the wonderful advice thus far! I placed orders for Mills MRA -12 resistors some time ago and they have trickled in slowly due to shipping delays fro...

Many thanks for all the responses towards my 3.6 XO project. This is proving to be such fun already and so glad to have the history along the way! With regard to the Claritycaps: I see 250v and 630v option. I know that the 8.2uf version will be...

Hi Thiel 'Goners.  Just thought I would chime back in after a reading the new thoughts about cables.  I have been running my 3.6s, via ARC LS 26 pre  and ARC DS 450Ms monoblocks, with a limited number of speaker cable options starting with BJC Bel...

Many thanks Tom and to all others who have graciously commented thus far!  I figured the 2.2 tweeters might be compatible matches for the 3.6s given the same manufacturing year (1993).  I've already been in a dialogue with Rob and he informed me t...
