Thiel Owners

It depends on the level of committment you are willing to invest. 

CS 2.4 are easier to set up and less finicky with electronics. Not that they dont benefit from demoing numerous amps and front end,  just not as critical as CS6.

Top to bottom it's a well balanced speaker and at its price point it's a steal.

CS6 takes more effort to properly set up. Getting the correct balance with electronics can be laborious if you dont enjoy the journey of doing so. 

Once dialed in with the right electronics the CS 2.4 are outclassed.

The CS6 produce a bass punch much larger than their weight class. 

It will take a considerable investment compared to the CS 2.4 to glean the best out of them. 

Thats my .02 whatever weight that may have.

In my auditions and travels, I found the CS 1.6 more in line with the 2.4 loudspeaker.

I found the CS 1.7 more in line with the 2.7 and 3.7 models.

Happy Listening!

I would love to get the 2.7 or 3.7 model in the future.  The other Theils I have demoed are the 3.5 and 3.6, which were nice in their own ways, the 3.5 was maybe too flat sounding, not in a bad way but more like gigantic studio monitors. I liked the 1.6 a lot in the store, when i got it home it sounded Musical Fidelity amp the sound was really not even close. Many amps later I ended up with a coda amp which was like lifting a veil form the 1.6 where the is tons of clean bass and mids . I think the 2.4 should work well with this amp which is part of why I want to upgrade.  I have been wanting to see what the next step up in the lineup would be like.  I find the 1.6 to be very amazing on the highs, but the mids and lows seem to be slightly less full sounding in comparison to how the treble range feels so palpable.
