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!

Sonic Frontiers,  is still highly regarded in our hobby. The brand has a strong fan-base. The Classics, never go out of vogue.

 

Happy Listening!

@ronkent  Can you please let us know if you had the right threading included in your Gaia kit for the 3.7 outriggers.

I would also like to try the Gaia ll footers eventually.

hi  @thieliste  and  @dr3  it has been a few years but i think i had to order some additional screws  to attach the GAIA to the outriggers.   i would certainly want a 30 day return on them as my friend Bob (who has 3.7's) did not like them.,  mine go onto bare floor as i cut the carpet away for them (his wife would not allow him to do so :).  I really like the PS amps  but i would guess that the Brystons would be great as well.   I do want to try an integrated,  the Gryphon Diablo,  as it worked so well with the Wilson speakers,  and it is something i can borrow for a few days.  the Wilson dealer will not bring the Sasha's to my home and i totally understand why.,   so next year,  if all goes well and just for fun,  i am going to take my 3.7's over there and run them against the Wilsons.  

 

hi @sdl4,  i would strongly encourage you to get a 30 day audition of the new PS DAC when it is available. as i told a good friend,  it was like getting a new pair of speakers, or in Thiel world, going from say 2.2's, to 2.4's.  my history with Thiel goes back to 1985 and here is the history:

1985 2.0

1992 2.2 (my longest running Thiel)

2007 2.4 

2013 2.7

2018 3.7

@ronkent I've owned the Diablo 300 during a year with my 3.7s and didn't like the presentation at all.

Its was pretty harsh sounding and the bass was lean.

I now use a Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 which is class A, this integrated is in a different league and drives my 3.7s much better with finesse and i do have a deeper bass now and it is full body.
