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!

Right On! prof
I spent some demo time a few years back w/ the Paradigm Signature (S8)
speaker with an Anthem pre/processor, power amp and Audioquest cabling all around. Not sure which cross-over is deployed in that model compared to Thiel? I concur w/ your thoughts/impressions- very clean and very clear in presentation. Still, to my ears, the S8 did not get the timbre nor richness
accurate. This is not a fault, merely, different.
Indeed, Anthem does build powerful amps.
Happy Listening!

Insane! there are now (2) pairs of CS 2.4SE speakers for sale here on Audiogon.  Hope these speakers and the CS 3.7 models find a good home.

Happy Listening!
Jafant, have you used Anticable IC's with your Thiels? . I've had great luck with Audioquest (Cheetah XLR) in the past but am having a hard time find anything used in the length I need.  I'm changing my room around to support longer, balanced IC's (3 meters) and shorter speaker cables. planning on the alpha core MI 2's or the 3.1 anticables. Thoughts?
I got my 2.4's running. I sent one low freq driver in to Rob at Thiel and he run it through a scan and he found it was okay. So I looked at the connections inside the cabinet a lot better than I did before I sent it in. I looked it really good over then so I thought I wouldn't find a loose connection. Well I found a loose connection on the board for that driver. I put everything back together, it works fine. 
Now I am ecstatic at how they sound. Much better than my recollection of the 1.2's that I had 20yrs ago, and those sounded very good and balanced.
