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!

Does anyone know of an active, dsp, phase correct/coherent speaker?  I haven't heard of one.  From what I've seen the dsp speakers use extremely steep slopes to get near perfect frequency response and low distortion.  People still don't like them.  I watched the NHT Xd system come to market and fail miserably 10+ years ago.  I asked a sales guy about a set I saw pushed aside in a store after the hype had died down and he just said they weren't good for the money.  Maybe the complex Thiel crossover is what we should be replicating digitally.  It might still take a ton of work to get right but once optimized wouldn't have the low impedance and high parts cost problems.

Thanks for the kind words about my system in virtual systems!
My serial numbers are 5457/58 - Amberwood - still look immaculate but need some TLC (tweeters and maybe mids need rebuild). Next step is with CSS.

last_lemmingGood to see you again. Thank You for the update. My understanding about owning B.A.T. gear is to obtain that Six-Pack Modification.  You own a very nice system. How do you like the Parasound/B.A.T. combo?
Happy Listening!

In all of my years in this hobby, I can only think of Meridian. At one time these guys were into Active, DSP, speakers. Not sure if their technology pushed time/phase coherence?   Happy Listening!
