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!

I should amend my recommendation about rewiring in your amp ,
I looked at images of Aryre AX-5 twenty and saw a beautiful image of electronics with no way to change speaker wires internally .
Between the Arye and the Spectral I don't know which has a more beautiful well layed out board .

Interesting idea about rewiring the binding plates. I’ll consider that if I decide I prefer your parallel configuration. Still running the standard. I want to have one more critical session with this configuration. 
Right, I have no intention of modding my Ayre. That volume control is mounted on the back plate for a reason :)

I hope you will one day have an opportunity to audition the Ayre AX-5 Twenty.  A very fine Audio experience indeed.

Happy Listening!
Hey wire nuts - I've gone down a rabbit hole with Steven Hill about wire configurations, pros and cons and theoretical considerations that are way above my pay grade. I'm testing samples and configurations that he sends.

Also, I have developed some observations about the normal vs parallel runs using my OCOS and Morrow wire. I'll chime in after Beetle shares his experience with us.
And - someone here reported his 2.7s as having straight (non twisted) internal wire. I checked with Rob who said that all the 2.7s (all classic Thiels, period) had the normal Thiel wire. So those 2.7s were someone's hotrod. Back to the lab.
Thanks Tom
Rob hasn't gotten back to me , I'll try calling him tomorrow and see if I can send him pictures .
As for someone's hot rod ? I purchased them thru Rob but they were sent from Tennessee ! Something is fishy .
