Thiel is officially closed!!

Also, the coax unit is impressive in its own right. The midrange is actually flat to 20kHz (without crossover).

Thanks for sharing @prof

That is super impressive and suggests that true pistonic behavior occurs over the intended range despite the slow roll-off filters. Jim Thiel really knew how to make superb drivers!

And I did not know the CS2.7 has 10" woofers. That is contrary to other reports. Example here.

It looks like Thiel specified the frequency response down to 35 Hz, which is the same as the CS2.3 but a scotch higher than the CS2.4.

beetlemania,

Yes,  Phil's reference to a 10" woofer had confused me.  Thiel's own literature on the 2.7 state an 8" woofer.  (I would open up my 2.7 grills and confirm, except that I've got them fitted so perfectly they are a bit hard to take off).

So I've always wondered if perhaps Phil miswrote either "2.7" when he meant to refer to the 3.7, or miswrote "10" when he meant to talk about the 2.7's 8 inch woofer.

BTW,

Rob Gillum returned my reply and...whew!..he is indeed taking over the THIEL Service department and service will continue to be available for legacy Thiels.

Thanks Prof! This is indeed great news. With this level of loyalty and demand, this is a good business model, and I'm glad they worked out whatever details. If anyone speaks to him, please convey thanks.

It's something I recently considered and made me think twice about buying Dan D'Agostino's mono blocs given Dan's age and the size of the company.

+1  There's only ONE Dan D'Agostino!
