Upgrades for Thiel CS 3.6?

I’ve owned my 3.6s for about 21 years

21 years!!! You are a definite candidate for the tweeters ferro fluid clean out and replenish.
"This will make your Thiels sing again, do not discount it as they are well over the date where the ferro fluid has dried out into glug and killing the performance of that great tweeter.

Your sound will open out more, become more dynamic, even the bass will have better leading edge to it’s snap.

Capacitors on the tweeter are all polypropylene (plastics) and don’t go bad like electros do, which would be on the bass.

Stereophile:
Nearly all the capacitors are polypropylene

Your 3.6’s are a great speaker, even by todays standard, keep them. But they MUST be driven with an amp that does good hefty current down to 2ohms
