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!

you should buy my 2.7's :)
LOL! Actually, there was a pair of white CS2.7s on A'gon just after I bought my SEs and for <$500 more. That had me second guessing. The 2.7 coax is almost certainly better than that on my SEs. But I'm committed to these SEs now as I've modded the XOs. That probably damaged the resale value even while notably improving the SQ. I need to see this project thru' to the end. And when I get there, they will almost certainly sound better than stock 2.7s (tbh, never auditioned the 2.7).
well us A'gon guys will be most interested in how your speakers evolve and i appreciate what you are doing.  i had 2.4's before getting the 2.7's and the 2.7's were better for sure.   but with the mods to your speakers,  i bet you have closed the gap.  i suspect that you have increased the resale value as anyone following this thread will certainly appreciate the updates.  it has taken a long time for my new 3.7's to break in as they had some new drivers installed by Rob,  and so now they are finally surpassing the 2.7's. 
May Thiel live long and prosper.
The x.7 drivers are indeed breakthrough design. That said, the 2.4 drivers are very mature and made and tested in Lexington with significant, advanced technologies. The 2.7 cabinet is stiffer, but the 2.4 will come close in vibrational performance, especially after tweaking. Regarding passive component quality, the upgrades will leap-frog the stock x.7 series into pretty rarified territory. We can expect some veils to be lifted by applying technologies that were out of reach for the stock product line.

FYI: I have contacted the world leader in audio cryogenic immersion. I am previously familiar with what can go right and wrong in that process, and how to stay out of trouble. I will be comparing stock and cryo-treated crossovers to evaluate efficacy. 
tomthielThank You for the update on drivers and cross-over(s). Have fun and stay safe out there.Happy Listening!
Thanks Jafant I’m using a bryston 4nrb with a proceed avp with mit cables before the avp I had a rotel pre amp then I went to a forte f44 with each progression the sound got better the dream someday is to go to a pair of cs5is with an avp2. I usually listen to rock. Thanks  to everyone on here for all the good info.
