Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

So I got a pair ot Thiel 04a Speakers... questions

They are my first pair of bona-fide audiophile speakers. Hornshoppe Horns don't count because as far as I know, Ed doesn't advertise like Thiel or have the same production volume.

My questions are these:

1. I read differing information about the ease or difficulty of driving Thiels. Some say they are difficult and need giant amounts of power and others say they are very efficient and can be driven by anything. Which is correct in reference to the 04a only?

2. Is the "a" in 04a indicative of a second generation? The stereophile review I found online talks about the 04 sans "a."

3. I have plenty of experience re-foaming speakers and these need the foam. I bit the bullet and paid $50 (20 each plus shipping) for two surrounds. Since I'm pulling woofers should I recap the crossovers? It has been over 30 years,
