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!

Thank You - tomthiel

for the details and insight into models CS 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 loudspeakers.

Another +vote for the CS 2.4 as I have never spent time w/ the 2.2 nor 2.3 models. The Passive Radiator was a stroke of genius via Mr. Jim Thiel. This driver really adds something very special to the sound, presentation, to the CS2.4 IMO.  Happy Listening!

unsound - I agree. I don't know why Jim designed for such low system impedance. I can speculate that marginally lower distortion in the driver motor may be had via lower driver impedance . . . BUT all the amplification problems caused by low impedance are a huge negative factor in system performance. As I've mentioned, he called those problems "amp problems". I don't know enough to speculate meaningfully.

The listening height thread reminded me that I think anyone who finds Thiels to be bright sounding should try fiddling with the height of their seat a bit.  I find this can make a noticeable difference in the balance and it's free.
More to discover
