Thiel Owners

Jafant great pics your room is lovely and the speakers look great! But how are you listening to music as you wait to put it together?

Thank You -jond
for the positive feedback. I listen to music in my GMC truck w/ top Bose / XM radio system. At home, I listen to certain internet radio via B&W MM-1 computer speakers. I keep both tuned up w/ various tweaking/system tuning CDs for optimal playback.  When I travel for business, I take a few well known discs w/ me as I visit dealers/retailers abroad.

Happy Listening!

jafant man i saw your pics of your beautiful CS 2.4SE not connected to any system...
How can you look at them everyday and not beeing able to listen to music ?
I know you are in the same boat as i am wanting to build a reference system with them, but meanwhile why don't you do like i did buy a modest used Integrated and a DAC to stream high res files via USB ?
For a very small budget you could at least listen to your CS 2.4SE.
I bought my CS 3.7  2 years ago and couldn't wait any longer staring at them and not beeing able to listen to them.

TY- thieliste for the kind words.

Patience, makes it all possible. I was fortunate enough to spend 3 months w/ the original CS 2.4 on a related work assignment. Additionally, I spent another 3 months listening to the CS 2.4 SE #50/51 under the same circumstances. Several days per week for the entire 3 months I listened to those models.  That is how I came about my decision to purchase.

The hardest part of the reference equation is solved.  Now, I can focus on the gear that will drive them.  I am in no rush as I accomplish perfection.

Happy Listening!

What do you have on your latest short list in terms of amp-preamp combo for your future reference system ?
I'm also investigating on my side and was able to listen to the Aesthetix combo last week in Lyon, i think that is a serious option for Thiels.
Hybrid solution might be the way to go at least to my taste.
I will investigate on Ypsilon gear also, the Aelius II monos have very good reviews.
