mrfizziks - Rob at CSS is swamped. Best approach is thru his website. Keep trying. Your tweeters are Polydax HD130x105D34E and your woofers are Credence 6C 16PP1.  
Thiel CS2
@sjbellers - adding to unsound's post, your "Thiel CS3s" are getting upgrade attention in parallel with the CS3.5. The Audiogon Thiel Owners' Forum may be of service to you.

jafant - your audio interest is immense! I, on the other hand, have very little experience outside the realm of Thiel. I believe that some day you might become a candidate for an enhanced CS2.4.

beetle - I think their hall ambience retrieval is real rather than an artifact. Consider that a large portion of speakers have the 100Hz bump, but don't 'hear' the hall. I suspect that Wilson's heroically quiet enclosures along with their ultra hi...

JA - I figured out the WAMM part, but jumped to the WATT because I had a little experience with it, but not the WAMM. Have you ever heard a setup?

petaluman - I can't be of much practical help other than referring you to Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service. If the 03a schematic exists, he would have it. There is an aftermarket op-amp EQ called the 'golden flute' in a brass tube. Here's a l...

beetlemania - these tweaks have accumulated over the few years we've been working on these upgrades together. The 2.4 is in a relatively good position among its peers, with its 2 crossovers at distnace from each other and from the woofer. Also, th...

@improvedsound - what a lovely playback system you have! I am honored to have Thiel speakers in such sophisticated company. I'm not sure how much knowledge there is about Antelope and Merging in the American hi-fi marketplace. I love them from the...

thieliste - I don't think so. The only components of real concern are the electrolytic caps. Thiel used high-performance, high-temperature, long-life Ecaps with a normal use horizon of 40 years. 'Normal' is a slippery target, but Rob has said the ...

jon_5912 - I wholeheartedly agree. Jim not only was a master of his design craft, he applied tons of time to evaluating each component to identify where costs could be shaved without sacrificing performance. His performance / cost ratio was amazin...

Hello all - in response to some questions from some of you who are upgrading your crossovers, I’d like to post some of my reflections. I have uploaded a CAD drawing of my modular outboard crossover cabinet to my virtual system. That drawing is emp...

@improvedsound - PM sent.

improvedsound - that's a nice piece of work you have done. You capture the Thiel Essence with the sloped, sculpted contours and the elegance of the base. will post some of what I have learned on this journey through my own experiments and coachin...
