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!

Well I just picked up a pair of very nice cherry 2.4's for my HT setup! I had sold my previous pair after wrongfully decding they were too much speaker for the LR mains. I was left with powerplanes to go with an MCR1 center and two PowerPoint rears. The powerplanes were outmatched and overshadowed by the big MCR1, and I was getting too much center. I"m looking forward to enjoying soundtracks again.
My 2 channel setup has CS6's matched with a pair of Krell FPB 250 monoblocks. My stereo room is large, but complicated by a fireplace on the right wall. I like to sit about 12' back, with the 6's about 7 1/2 feet apart. The back walls about 58" and sidewalls more than that. I'm fooling with various sources, including a Thorens long base modded by Vinyl Nirvana, and an old Classe DAC 1 & PS Audio Lambda transport; I'm starting to stream Tidal via Sonos Connect through the DAC 1, as well. Tidal has Hi Fi streaming, and its real convenient.
I got the 2.4's instead of a new DAC, so I guess I'll continue to upscale the HT by tinkering with the SS1. No, I don't have any speakers but Thiel; except for the year I spent recently with the big Onken Altecs, Thiels are all I've ever owned.
As I begin to downsize, the sweet spot Thiel 2.4's may end up as my last and final pair..
I'm curious if anyone has bought or knows anyone who has bought a pair of post Jim Thiel speakers from Thiel.  There is a 4 store chain here in Chicago that was a Thiel dealer for decades but they aren't any more.  Does anybody know if the new speakers are selling at all?  Thiel has quite a few dealers listed on their website.
michaeljbrown-

nice score! how did you find the CS 2.4 speakers?  Did you buy from a dealer/retailer?  If these are your final pair of speakers, you are going out on a very high note!

Happy Listening!
One week in and loving the 1.5's   Looking for 2.4's, 2.7's or 3.7's. If anyone has any leads.

Thanks,
Greg

I have always felt that the CS 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 have a place in any system. A Thiel Smartsub or REL subwoofer would be required for best effect.  Happy Listening!
