Thiel Owners

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. 

Good to see you - zkga
I have not heard any of the Alpha Core nor Anticable offerings. Each brand has a strong following. I will search over the other audio forums and try to get answer for you regarding sonic matches.
When I was auditioning Thiel speakers, attempting to nail down the model that I wanted for myself, Audioquest products were involved. Excellent sound and an excellent value- even the older cables/cords.
Happy Listening!

Thanks! for the update- marqmike.
good to read that Rob ruled out a failed driver saving you time and money for any rebuild. Agreed, the CS 2.4 is an excellent speaker and offers excellent value. Last pair I spotted on eBay were listed for $1699-
A steal at that price!  I really believe that the redesigned oval passive radiator is the reason that the 2.4 betters the 2.2/2.3 models. Not sure if the cross-over was re-worked or not? Could be a combination of both?
Happy Listening!

Thank you for the reply Jafant!  you don't need to do my homework for me though! 

I'll dig into it.  I have Anticable 2.0 that have been very good on the 1.5's but something in my combo (cardas golden ref balanced IC's) isnt working quite as well on the 2 2's They seem a bit dark on lower midrange and slightly loose on the bass. amp is a Coda pushing 400 into 8 and 800 into 4ohm loads
