| Thiel Owners JA and all - since this update is somewhat nebulous, I’ll start with a grounding summary. When we all met in 2018, it was for my assessment of the health and interest of the Thiel community. This site was my only input, since I find social media ... | |
| Thiel Owners ovinewar1 - I consider floor coupling to be a hard problem, but containing some simple, executable aspects. The hard part is that various floor systems have their unique parameters of absorption, reactivity and so forth. No simple solution fits th... | |
| Thiel Owners JA and all - Report I know that progress is slow - I like to think of it as 'glacial'. Slow, yes, but also deep and strong. Thiel Renaissance is my full-time occupation. Collaborator and beta projects are making strong, steady progress. My own wo... | |
| Thiel Owners biannuzzi22 Gary at CSS would know all the particulars. I do know that they're not the same driver. The CS2.4 has a more sophisticated and expensive motor system including rare-earth magnets. The 2.3 coax was used in the PCS and MCS for which... | |
| Thiel Owners Jeff - most 03s were sold with the EQ, which gave Jim the courage to design the 03a with sealed bass that is dependent on the EQ. Regarding the other driver numbers, here's the missing link for you. All Thiel's drivers from the beginning were som... | |

| Thiel Owners bill - please send me a PM. | |
| Thiel Owners bill - sorry for the lecture. You're on the right track. I don't know enough to advise. Let us know how it all settles out. | |
| Thiel Owners bill - as always your most accurate source of information is Gary at CSS. I don't know the driver models that you reference, but I do know that the CS3.6 midrange used Thiel's patented dual cone diaphragm which has its unique dynamic structure. I... | |
| Thiel Owners Ron- I agree! | |
| Thiel Owners Not dumb. True. Rotate 180 degrees. | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent - my answer re monoblocks could be misleading. My reference was to a stereo amp bridged to mono. In that case its source impedance drops along with exacerbating problems with low-impedance speakers like Thiel. However, a single-channel mo... |
