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!

Not at all odd that the article neglected/omitted mention of any personage responsible for building/designing the products.  Such is the failure of attempting to perpetuate the history and legacy of a brand simply by badging the name onto products that have little or no connection to those that established it originally. 

BMW has been "marketing" a hatchback for a while now and, having long been a SAAB kinda guy in the past, I had to take one for a spin. When I remarked that it was in no small way nothing more than a more expensive Saab, the sales rep looked at me funny and asked, "What's a Saab?"

This new woman is destined to fail sooner or later simply because just marketing the Thiel brand is like bringing back an Oldsmobile - yeah I remember when but ...didn't they become pieces of sh*t?
The person responsible for designing the "New" Thiels was Mark Mason formerly at PSB  he left over a year ago. Could the new wireless speakers be made and designed by an outside company that allowed Thiel to badge the product w/their logo??
Just got a pair of 1.6 for 500$ today to play with!Cant believe how good they sound!They had a few dings in the woofers I pulled out and now look presentable!Best 500 I ever spent!I think I'm going to use them for rears in my surround system.Man,Jim Thiel could build a speaker!
