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 agree with the high current on the Thiels, Dave. I had a Krell fpb 300 on the 2.4's, and they were fantastic! I had tried a Classe older model on the 2.3's, I think. Don't recall if it was D9. Daryl Prowell is my guy's name in Cleveland. Daryl is a hands on dealer, uses the old fashioned telephone. He gave me a terrific price on the CS6's, was not enthusiastic about shipping them so I used Craters and Freighters. Bad Idea. It cost me over 800 bucks to get them here, only with a fork lift hole in the top of the Cardboard container built by C&F to save $ I guess. Resulted in a dent in the top of one of the speakers. Renee at C&F Cleveland located a guy in Midland to fix the dent. Long story short, he had a stroke during the repair process, and things are, shall we say, up in the air. I went by the little warehouse and looked at the work and was not happy. So I will get them back next week, and will find someone local who has since been recommended to me. Meanwhile Daryl will ship me the Krell Monos and I will send him my Quicksilver tube mini mites & some money, then continue to try to repair the damage done. 
I think Rob is a great resource, but I would think his repair including shipping from out here at the edge of the world would be pushing 2k.

The CJ 350 Premier was the company's last, great solid state power amp
at $10K retail.  My audition was mated w/ CJ ACT2 Series2 preamp,
Eggelston speakers and Audience cabling all around.  One never forgets that kind of demo.
Guys-

keep talking about Krell power amps as it mates w/ Thiel loudspeakers.
Happy Listening!
