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!

Oblgny, I would have to nominate the CS 2's as the easiest Thiel's to power (and most reliable):

Most of the earlier CS 1 series were amongst Thiel's easiest to drive as well.

Though the 3.5's impedance does climb just where the eq does it's stuff to help mitigate the eq's 12 dB's boost at the 20 Hz setting, well,  that's still demanding of an amplifier.

The easiest to drive Thiel speaker I've ever used or heard of is the older Thiel 02 speaker (which I still have).  90 db sensitivity, easy impedance load, these things live and breath almost like a high sensitivity speaker, even with lower powered tube amps!  Still sound absolutely gorgeous.

As William suggested a few months ago- you guys list the serial numbers for your Thiel speakers.  As above, I would certainly keep those Les Paul Edition 3.7 speakers.  A very rare production model indeed. Beautiful as well.

Happy Listening!
