Thiel Owners

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

No problem- zkga
on the few occasions that I have heard a Cardas cable, it is too warm for my taste. This was on tubed  and solid state gear. The Golden Reference is an iconic IC used by many writers of the Audio press, so referencing it will not be an issue.
Happy Listening!
