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 for the update. It seems like the speakers auditioned by your friend were under-powered via the Onkyo? Room acoustics and speaker placement may have had a negative impression as well?  I can advise to hold out for a personal audition, as a time-phase-coherent loudspeaker, is a different design from traditional. At the least, seek out a Vandersteen 3A Signature or 5A model there in the Dallas/Houston/SATX area, until a Thiel Audio speaker becomes available. From experience, contact John Fort Audio in Dallas. He usually has quite a bit of used/demo gear on-hand and is a pleasure to consult.


Happy Listening!

2nd Note- if you  have a Ryan Speakers dealer/retailer in your relative area, seek out an audition as well. the R630 has a very similar Thiel-like texture/timbre presentation and sound. Keep me posted.


Happy Listening!

Laserjock:  any dealer who auditions Thiel speakers with an Onkyo receiver is either very lazy or very inept or both.  that is like test driving a BMW 3 series with a set of bias ply tires.  not good

A very nice system indeed. The EMM Labs DAC is a special piece of electronics. I have not had an opportunity to demo Teo Audio cabling.

Happy Listening!

those are nice lower numbers on your CS 2.2 loudspeakers. A very nice set-up for H/T and stereo needs.  Happy Listening!
