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!

jon I crank my 3.6's and CS6's.  The 6's  play louder, the 3.6 play plenty loud and are ever so slightly more transparent!

I hear you with your ATCs I have the old Polk 2.3tl's that I bought in the 80's that I refurbished.  Fun to put them in sometimes because they play "listening to live music in bar" loud!  Not nearly as good as the Thiels but fun.
another comment from my friend using the Goertz cables with the 3.7's.

One more thing to add to the list. Not sure exactly how this works but the background with the Goertz is blacker. The music just emerges from a very quiet place. Not sure why this would be so? Didn't think of speaker cables as adding noise? Maybe the Zobels are getting rid of some high frequency hash?


The Goertz design is high-capacitance, which may cause some amplifiers distress in the trans-audio high frequencies, which produces down-reflected audible consequences. Correcting that capacitive load makes the amp run truer to form.
thanks Tom.   is that true for shorter lengths such as 8' as he is running 13'
Ron, shorter cables are always better than long. But parallel (not twisted) conductors like Goertz are inherently capacitive. If there is a problem depends on the amp. But Thiel's low-impedance results in more current being drawn through the cable, so any capacitance problem is likely to be exacerbated. I suggest using the Zobel filter.
