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 had the opportunity to speak with him a few times, and he was always a patient, perfect gentleman.
I too am enamored with the 3.5's, IMHO all things considered, it might have been his best product. It takes much more money to get somewhat better performance. Being the absolute bargains they were when new, and even more so now on the used market, I fear that some don't realize that for them to be all they can be, they need to be fed with appropriate gear that could very well exceed the current cost of these speakers.
If your ever feeling generous about wine recommendations, please share! Though they're usually a bit out of my budget for regular consumption, amongst others, I have a particular fondness for both red and white Burgundies, and late harvest Rieslings.:-) 
Just going over the power requirements again....
I have CS 2.7 and from ratings below if I looked for an amp putting out 400 watts into 8 Ω, it would double down to 800 at nominal 4 Ω and 1333 watts at the 2.4 Ω  minimum?

CS 2.7 Specs:
Impedance 4 Ω (2.4 Ω minimum@160Hz) Recommended Power 100-400 watts

My amp really seems puny now...200 at 8 and 350 at 4!

I concur that the initial power rating on any speaker is rounded off/begins w/ 8ohms.  Keep in mind that it is not all about high power, but, high current (especially the newer models).
