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!

The bottom placement of the speaker terminals might be nuisance when auditioning cables, but once one's decided upon their favorite cables, I find their unobtrusive appearance and the hidden from children, pets, etc. a bonus. I would think again about raising the speakers.

BTW, why travel to get cables when cables can come to you;

Right On! guys-

no need to tilt these speakers nor raise them above their respective outriggers. It is all in the design by JT.  Keep the info flowing.
Happy Listening!

Having a local Transparent Cable dealer/retailer is sweet!
These are very fine cables and cords that get better the further one goes up their chain of products. A very generous upgrade program as well.

Keep me posted & give a shout-out to your local Audio shops!
Happy Listening!

I'm something of a fan for Anticables,  but I'm now using Goertz Veracity cables with bananas all around.  Anticables have a habit of becoming loose when I occasionally have to move the speakers. They're very stiff.

 (I just bought a Primare i22 integrated,  class d amplification, 120 watts into 4 ohms...)
 
I actually prefer the Goertz cables a little over the Anti's,  I believe they offer a somewhat fuller resolution overall,  with the Anti's perhaps being a little brighter.

But then again,  I like  "bright" sonics in my speakers.  I haven't cared much about a few hertz here or there in the lower registers since I dismantled my 10+ year old Klipsch CF-3 speakers a few years back.  My 3.5's are 20hz-20khz - the whole megillah.

Long live Thiel!
