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!

@mr_bill The CS2.7 was developed after Jim T passed. It was a collaboration in house but with external engineering for the crossover. Search “CS 2.7” written by “tomthiel” to get the history. It has a first order network. If you aren’t afraid of a soldering gun, get a pair of CS2.4 and either wait for Tom Thiel’s upgrade kit or pour through this thread for ideas of how to make a great speaker into a superb one. |
mr_bill If you search this thread you’ll see a lot from me comparing the 2.7 to the 3.7s. I owned both at the same time for a while and ultimately went with the 2.7 as it’s smaller size fit better aesthetically in my room. (Plus to my eyes the 2.7s are among the best looking speakers I’ve ever seen). The 2.7s have the essential sound of the 3.7s, with a slightly reduced sense of scale. Though without direct comparison to the 3.7, the 2.7s cast a really big soundstage - among the most expansive and precise as you’ll find anywhere around their size. |
