Studs in the wrong place ,  so take a 2' x 2' or longer piece of 3/4" plywood and screw that into your studs with 3 or 3 1/5 " screws then mount your TT bracket onto that ,  I drilled 1/2" holes thru both the board and the wall then used toggle nu...

if you want to spend $ I guess ( since it's not out yet ) the MOFI 45rpm LP set would be the way to go , for less a Japanese pressing sounds great and I like the new Box set of the Archives vol 1 .    I have at least 3 copies of her first 4 album...

Grill on or off ?  While Tom took some measurements on his SCS4 speakers and found very little difference in sound and jafant listened to his CS2.4 speakers and found no difference in sound so I can only speculate that the improvement  I am hearin...

Thanks Tom After looking at images of different Thiel speakers I'm guessing that most just have speaker fabric covering them , since the 2.7 and 3.7 have the same design coaxial speaker that are not recessed that they might be the only speakers w...

There is a pair of White 2.4s on reverb for sale $1850 . Tom , the grill on the 3.7 looks to be the same type as the 2.7 , do you recommend something different ?  and what could replace it ?    
Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper
@eyecatcher127  It's very cool that that the manufacture makes an upgrade kit for the crossovers , but new drivers too ! Whichever way you go from my experience I'd stay away from silver plating over copper wiring , either use pure copper or pur... 
Solid core OFC vs stranded OCC copper
@eyecatcher127  Who  manufactures the speakers and  What size and type wire is being used now ,  have you or are you going to upgrade the crossovers ? On the Thiel forum there is a lot of conversation about internal wiring ,  I myself rewired us... 
Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?
@tomcarr  I agree with you but how many sock puppets do you know that can sing and play the banjo ?

@prof If you would like to discuss the issues and or obstacles to upgrading your 2.7 crossovers PM me  . You can see the finished woofer and work in progress mid/tweeter board on virtual systems .  The finishing touch will be the Purity 1uf caps ...

vladtheimpala  I hate to POP YOUR BALLOON but the main reason there is an  anti-China sentiment is quality control or the lack of it . At the same time being pro the country one is from doesn't directly mean that one is anti other countries .
