Thiel Owners


Guys-

I just scored a sweet pair of CS 2.4SE loudspeakers. Anyone else currently or previously owned this model?
Owners of the CS 2.4 or CS 2.7 are free to chime in as well. Thiel are excellent w/ both tubed or solid-state gear!

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

oblgny, jafant, well not exactly. Nelson Pass worked at Phase Linear before co-starting Threshold where he developed amongst other things the acclaimed Stasis and optical bias designs which he sold with the company when the economy had a downturn, though not before licensing the Stasis design (though not application!!!) to Nakamichi.  After departing Threshold Nelson Pass started Pass Labs. Some individuals that previously worked at Threshold started Coda. Coda also made gear for Legacy, Sanders Sound and others. Wayne Coburn who was with Threshold as Nelson Pass was leaving Threshold went onto Pass  Labs where he is credited with much of the Pass Labs preamps designs.
  Though not really as much part of the Nelson Pass continuity, Mikael Bladilaius was part of the post NelsonPass Threshold team (including Wayne Coburn) that developed the T series and later Forte' gear, went onto Classe' amongst others.

...  Nelson Pass worked at Phase Linear before co-starting Threshold ...
Are you sure? What products did Pass design for Phase Linear? I always thought Phase Linear was Bob Carver's effort, until he sold the company to Pioneer. 

^Good catch! Must have been a senior moment. Nelson Pass was actually working for ESS not Phase Linear.

Sorry about that!

^right time frame, wrong specifics. Brain fart. Considering my history of clumsiness, I suspect everyone here's future is quite promising!
Best to all, and a very happy Thanksgiving!
