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!

Hi 

Ihave a question.

Is there any user turn the volume really  high ? 

I m not sure if i can express myself.

I feel that i need to compressed the high note if i need to turn up the volume ? Will you have the same situation ?

And also when jim thiel test the speaker . will he use any high end or aftermarket cables ? Or only the normal black cable 

These question really confuse me because i did blown few tweeters already.

Please share your thought
prof...

Excellent commentary on perhaps the most contested aspect of assembling a high fidelity system.  At the end of the day the single-most important component in any setup is one's head. 

I used to go to the local stereo stores and buy spools of speaker wire. Back in them days components came with the plugs already.  There wasn't a helluva lot of tweaking latitude then. 




- "The best part, one does not have to spend big money, to make it happen. In fact, always buy used or demo and save a bit of coin. Every audiophile can afford quality cabling -you would be foolish otherwise." -

Completely agree!

As an example of this: I had the opportunity to own some very highly regarded - and expensive - Shunyata power cables.  Universally praised at that time.   Did I detect a difference?  With one of them, the most expensive, yes!  I was just about sold.  Then to double check, I had a friend help me blind test them against a standard military grade $15 power cable.  Turned out I couldn't actually hear any difference.  I often detected just the same "improvement" when the $15 cable was in the system.  The mind is funny like that :-)

So as you say, I didn't have to spend big money - that cheaper power cord was all the quality I needed - and agree it would have been foolish of me to choose otherwise ;-)


Precisely! oblgny-

I used Monster Cable spool wire and patch cords back in the 80's to the early 90's.  Around the mid-1990's I switched over to some entry level Tara Labs and it really made a difference (mid-fi gear at that juncture).

Happy Listening!
Good to see you- prof
