Thiel Owners

Hello Thiel listeners
I am excited I should receive a pair of 2.4's in about 1-2wks. There was some 3.7's listed that I thought about, but then felt it might be to much of a speaker for me, and that I couldn't go as wrong with the 2.4's in my basement. 
I had some 1.2's new when they came out and moved on from them but never replace them in my mind. 
I am probably going to ask a few questions at times, and from reading this thread since it was started it looks like I will get some fine suggestions, so thank you for this thread Jafant.
Would you say off the top of your head my present amp 125 watts into 8ohms and 250 into 4ohms would be capable for a good while power wise? And outside of power for the 2.4's what is one or two things you could say you would want to make sure of.  
I have 30-36 inches out from the wall I can place them. No side walls to worry about, they are about eight feet away. And my listening position will be about nine feet away. Any suggestions appreciated.
Now for fun did I get close to the 3.7's or should I get them if they are still available.
Can I do an upgrade to bring it close to the SE model or would I want to?
Thank you friends. 

Nice catch! corvette01-
The Tobacco Sunburst is a very rare finish indeed.
Happy Listening!

Good to see you again- marqmike,
I am excited for you as the CS 2.4 is a honey of a speaker at any price.
Yes, 125/250 watts is plenty of power to drive those speakers. Your measurements look good as well. Once you take receipt of the speakers, placement/measurement can always be adjusted to taste. To my ears, the CS 2.4 and 3.7 are not that far apart. Some differences are the 3.7 is larger in size and scale, Mr. Thiel's last generation of drivers in the time/phase coherence tradition and can fill a larger listening space with ease.
Having heard models- 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7 and 3.7 at length- one cannot go wrong with any of these offerings. Prices are right as well. Keep us posted as you massage the speakers into your system, home.

Happy Listening!

marqmike,
Having owned both the 2.4's and now the 3.7's,I would save money and buy the 2.4's!While I do like my 3.7's ,I cant say they are many 1000's of dollars better?The 3.7's play larger because they are.I think some 2.4's with some good electronics can be quite a formidable system!I heard some of the best bass from my 2.4's with a McIntosh amp!

Just wanted to say how well my 1.6's are doing as rear channel speakers!I replaced a pair of Magnapan mmgw with the 1.6's and the difference in amazing!I think now I'll use the mmgw's on the garage floor to catch oil drips when I change the oil in my Vette!
