@unsound ...the Thiel’s are just better...
I suspect that may be right but I can't help wondering.
Maybe I need to try a seond setup with a good pair of standmounts and tube amp just to try it.
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!

Going from CS5i’s to stand mounts with tubes could be a very different contrast. B&W’s usually aren’t very compatible with tubes. Just look at Fig. 1 for the 805’s B&W Matrix 805 loudspeaker Measurements | Stereophile.com That rollercoaster frequency response is not what tubes typically like to see. Personally, I don’t much care for the B&W sound, though I once heard a pair of 802’s in a very unusual room powered by ss/tube hybrid Counterpoint amp making some beautiful work of a chorale performance. The demonstrator shut down the system after about 20 minutes, because he was afraid the amp might go up in flames. |
