Good to see you here again. I hope you like the Tekton Encores.Are you keeping the CS 2.3 loudspeakers as a back-up?What other gear including cabling is in your system?
Happy Listening!

2nd Note:If running separates, a tubed pre-amp with a solid-state power amp,  is musically rewarding. Ayre Acoustics is a solid-state product with a tube-like soul to my ears.
Happy Listening!

Not sure what I’m doing with the Thiels. They are great for speech intelligibility, may put them in my 2nd HT system. I was using Audioquest no frills cables, got them on sale. They are soft sounding. I have MIT terminator 2’s and MIT Biwire terminator 4’s. They were too bright and resolving to be a good match for the Thiels. I love the tube pre and SS amp combo. First Watt amps look good and now that I have a more sensitive speaker I may be able to try one. Currently using a bryston 4bsst. Way more power than I need, never see my entire system pull more than 4 amps, judged by my Monster conditioner.

Thank You for the update. I am sure that there is a buyer for a pair of CS 2.3 w/ upgraded coax. Keep us posted and enjoy the Music!
Happy Listening!

Like, wow - you finally committed to an amp!  Congratulations. Checked your system out in the Virtual Systems section - nice digs. The 2.4’s look remarkably more spiffy in a wood finish than plain ol’ black like the ones I have up for grabs here. (Again.)

Most of my current listening has been relegated to streaming on Qobuz since I’m spending a lotta time searching for suitable employment on the interweb. (I can use it as well on my main stereo but that’s over the hills and far away downstairs and my computer ain’t.)

I actually hooked up the 2.4’s again about a week ago to see if time had eroded any of my original observations. I still find that the imaging is very tight and the highs are not as “sparkly” as the other models I’ve owned. Bass response is excellent and just true. 
C’est la vie.
