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!

Are real Thiels good on Symphonic Music ? I've played with about other usual suspect in the price range and am certain phase/ time is critical. 
That'a why I use either single-drivers or sloped 1 cap crossovers with transmission lines . Never heard a Thiel !

@schubert Well, I guess if you consider a Jim Thiel-designed speaker to be an extremely accurate transducer of an input signal, then they should be fine with any kind of music, with consideration given to a particular model's frequency limitation.

I chose Thiels decades ago, without knowing any of the technical aspects of the speakers, at the time.  They were the most convincing with recorded acoustic instruments.  e.g. guitars, violins, and piano.  They just sounded "right", where everything else was "not quite right".

Good to see you Schubert-


Yes! Thiel speakers do indeed sound excellent on Symphonic Music.

I would venture to say that the CS 2.7 or CS 3.7 fits the bill nicely.

Keep me posted and Happy Listening!
