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!

Thank You Prof 
Your in-depth evaluation is fantastic, Its to bad the the " professional "
evaluators couldn't be as precise as you.
You've help me get over the regret of not moving up to the 3.7s
I purchased one of the last CS2.7 pairs available from Thiel,
I had to purchase the speaker spikes used on the 2.4SEs and 3.7s
in order to penetrate the carpet.
I love the sound and the looks and they aren't so heavy that I'd need help to move them.


Good to see you- vair68robert

What other gear is in your system?  Happy Listening!

I have owned 2.4s and currently have a pair of 3.7s.  To me they sound best with a high quality tube preamp and a SS power amp. They really need 250+ watts and you need an amp that is stable down in the 2 to 3 ohm range.
Prof,
Very interesting evaluation. My thoughts on the 2.7 as compared to previous models was that is was "smoother and more lush" as you say about the 3.7 in comparison. 
This is good stuff....I am appreciating your evaluation as are all reading this. (Who has this opportunity in their home!)
I still think, that it would be beneficial to compare the tilt of the 3.7 and try to match the same on your 2.7. it may give you a different impression, but maybe not - as I recall you were nearfield in you listening position.
I had a pair of 2.4's before my 3.7's.I think you can't go wrong with either the 2.4,2.7 or the 3.7's!i think the 2.4's do everything well!While I do like my 3.7's,I can't say they are many 1000's  of dollars better sounding then the 2.4's I had?Maybe keeping the 2.4's and investing 1000's more on better electronics would have been a better idea?I have noticed that my movies are more cinema like with the 3.7's.My problem is that I mess with my system too much,and never really let it break in before I change this or change that!Im definitely OCD!
