Thiel is officially closed!!

yes that was an email from Rob in response to one i had sent him.  he has been great to work with in the past and am glad to see he will be there for us Thiel guys

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 grateful to know he is out there for all us Thiel lovers.  I hope to keep my 2.7's going for many a year.  

true that.   and to be able to get parts as well.   i went ahead about 2 years ago and ordered a spare mid/tweeter unit for the 2.7's as they seem a little touchy (lost 2 in 3 years).   nice to have a back up just in case.

truthfully i am not sure.  the first time it happened i think it was just a bad driver from the outset as it happened about two months into listening.  was using a reference Marantz amp at the time. second time was using the great PS Audio BHK amp so i know it was not the amp clipping or anything.  granted i play it loud but no more so than when  i had CS2's, 2.2's(blew a midrange once in18 years),  and 2.4's (no problems).  it seems to be the midrange driver and not the tweeter that goes. hard to figure but i am more judicious these days with volume. i measure it and rarely does it get about 85 db. 

i do not think the older drivers were as vulnerable, as i have had four generations of the 2 series,  and prior to the 2.7's,  only blew one midrange one time.  Gary at Thiel said it just failed and was not caused by anything i did.

thank you so much.   that is great advice and i will gently push on the midrange driver.  i think the drivers are the same for the 2.7 and 3.7

Thank you very much Kent!

 

The transition period for the changes are difficult and many. I definitely have a good stock of CS2.7/CS3.7 coaxial drivers if needed. My goals at THIEL are to continue providing excellent customer service for all THIEL Owners. I really do thank all Audiogon forums and customers for their continued support. Without you guys, I would not exist. Many Thanks!
