Thiel Owners

Good to see you- Jon.
how is your Summer?

Happy Listening!

Summer is going well. Working hard but finding time to play and listen.

I never see Thiels for sale locally and now there is a CS1.2 pair asking $550 in addition to the CS1 for $225. I'm really curious to see how these sound in my reference setup compared to my CS3.6s that I have now and the SCS4s that originally sparked my interest in Thiels years ago.

jonandfamily, It's been a long time since I've heard the CS 1's. I believe they were a very steady 4 Ohm load of moderate sensitivity. All in all a pretty easy load for most amps, providing of course they are suitable into 4 Ohm loads. If one plans on using tubes, it's suggested to double the power rating. As I recall, they were of typical Thiel sound, but due to the limited bass, could sound more tilted up.

Thanks! for chiming in- unsound.

Happy Listening!

Now that I currently own 3 sets of Thiel speakers - 02s, 2.7s and 3.7s, it's occurred to me:  I guess I like Thiel speakers :-)

The 2.7s continue to amaze me in how much punch and life-like energy they bring to the party.
