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!

Ok, I’m perplexed. 

I could do some research but the expertise is here. 

Same price and both like new cosmetically and functionally CS2.4 vs 3.6?

3.6’s have deeper bass and play louder.

2.4’s have less lobing issues.

I’ve never heard the 3.6 so will defer to others other than to say the 3.6 reaches deeper into the lowest octave and appears a more difficult load for the amp. Also, I’m a big fan of the coax in the 2.4. My short list of Thiels I think better than the 2.4 are 3.7 and 7.2, maybe the 6 and 2.7 (haven’t heard the last two). And that’s not considering my crossover upgrade. Don’t think I’d trade my pair for stock 3.7s or 7.2s, certainly not without listening first. Tracy Chapman is in my living room as I type :)

^The 3.6’s impedance might drop a touch lower than the 2.4’s, but the 3.6’s phase angle is gentler than the 2.4’s.
