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 follow up to thoft's query about the 7 Series loudspeakers. I agree in that a 7.3 model would have been a game-changer. 

Happy Listening!
So I am gonna be getting a pair of classe model 25’s. Guy used them on apogee speakers. I am excited to see what this will bring. He is letting me do a payment plan.
^Nice amps for Thiels. Unusually most users report better results through the single ended RCA inputs rather the balanced XLR inputs with these amps. I’d caution you about using these amps in bridged mono configuration with your Thiel’s. Typically bridged amps don’t do well into low impedances. A better alternative would be to have your Thiel’s modified so that each would have dual binding post pairs and have each amp run a channel to the each of the binding posts of each speaker. In this configuration each amp would receive either two left channel or two right channel inputs respectively. A pre with dual stereo pre outs helps facilitate this. I would suggest avoiding a pre that leans to the dark side or has a rolled off treble with these amps, “liquid” presentation would be a plus. These are fairly sensitive amps, be careful of very high output pres, or you might have limited volume control range.
^In a small room such as yours, you could probably get away with one of those amps, perhaps comfortably.
