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!

As above,

I will second Audience "e" and "AU" cabling. My first real taste of a high end system was rounded out by Audience cabling.  I would be interested in re-visiting the newest offerings.

Happy Listening!

Just thinking about my old setup for a while today which results in my leaning toward Acoustic Research preamps with Thiel over Balanced Audio Technology, PS Audio, Musical Fidelity, and a couple of passives I'd ran through the Pass amp. 

To my ears the ARC didn't color as much even though the other pre's mentioned couldn't be said to be "colored", either. Had the ARC pre's had a remote I may have never considered others. If - and I do mean IF - I decide to return to separates in the near or distant future ARC will be my choice in preamps.

The ARC Ref5 SE is tops in my book- William.
You would hard-pressed to find one better.

Happy Listening!

On the other side of this coin, a Conrad Johnson Gat or ART3 would fit the bill very nicely!

Happy Listening!
