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!

Arniespin...

I reside in the 'boibs, out on the island in Lake Grove - a town with neither a lake nor a grove in site. What makes up for the lack of namesake is a good little store right around the corner from me, Audio Den. 

It was opportunity that made me jump on the ones from Chicago. I felt they could be the last pair at a fair price - $1300 plus $300 palletized - that I would find "close" to me. Prior I had let a couple of New York ones elude me.  Just hadda pull the trigger. 

I was/remain so damn fond of the 3.5's that appreciating the 3.6's has taken some 'sperimenting.  Today I think I attained bringing out their DNA by swapping a few cables. (Posted a few minutes ago) Mind you, I dug the 3.6's right offa the pallet and outta the box, but there was still SOMETHING not coming forth. 

Methinks it's the Goertz cables mostly. Two feet shorter than the Transparent cables were. 

Damn. Now I'm gonna start pining for a pair of 3.7's...
arniespin,

Congrats on the 3.7s!

"These guys just vanish in an almost spooky way."

Yep, it's really something isn't it?  Pretty much every review remarks on that quality of the Thiels.  And the fact they "disappear" through the entire spectrum, bass being just as holographic as the rest.
Good to read  that your CS 3.7 speakers arrived safe and sound-arniespin
Now the fun begins!

Happy Listening!
oblgny-

have you switched out all of the Transparent cabling for Goertz Alpha?
There are many audiophiles out there who use this brand.

Happy Listening!
Latest eBay update-
