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 received the soft dome tweeters, installed them in the 3.6s and listened throughout the weekend. Early on, they were fatiguing with increased sibilance, but seem to be approaching the original sound either from mechanical break-in or psychoacoustical break-in. Vocals, especially female seem to be moved a little forward. I expect with more play time, these 3.6s will continue to reside in my main system. Rob Gillum agrees they need break-in.

Good to read a preliminary report. I have no doubt that Rob treated your situation right.  Keep me posted with the break-in. Enjoy the Music.

 

Happy Listening!

After nearly 2 weeks of heavy play with the new soft dome tweeters from Rob at CSS, the brightness is totally resolved! Amazing! These are definitely an upgrade over 26-year-old aluminum dome tweeters.

@vair68robert- Thank you for the advice about soldering to the speaker connection. To reduce heating up the wire going to the voice coil, I applied alligator clamps on either side of the solder as heat sinks.
