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!

hi guys,  great reading and thanks to all.  this is my first time posting on this thread but wanted to add my 2.7 cents so to speak.   i have owned every generation of the 2 series since 1986.  2.0,  2.2,  2.4,  and now 2.7.   Each upgrade was well worth it but i doubt i will go the 3.7 route since a new REL SHO/5 sub seems to have really given me what was missing.  i think the biggest change in the speakers was the move from the 2.0 series to the 2.2.   that first generation was anemic by comparison.   so over 30 years later i still love these speakers and hate what has happened to the company.  I have a  backup coax as that seems the most vulnerable as i have had to replace two so far.   never had issues with the older series.  anyone here had issues with these drivers?   Thiel and Rob replaced the two bad ones under warranty but i purchased the spare one.  Expensive but it beats buying a new speaker which would take a lot of dollars to equal these babies.  May even buy another coax.   the woofer and the passive drivers have not been an issue.

  I do have a set of sound Anchors that i used with the 2.0 and 2.2 series if I recall.  anyone interested can write me about them if they would like to purchase them.  I used Mapleshade platforms under the 2.4's,  but with the outriggers on the 2.7's,  i use them on the floor directly.  my amp is the incredible PS Audio BHK 250.   Best amp i have ever used and it will work great with Thiel speakers. thanks again. 
me again.  i am suffering from the mid sixties disease CRS.   I realized i have posted here before so my  first statement above was not correct.
jut in case someone needs this info thought i would post it.


Hi Kent,

 

I have examined the CS2.7 coax that you returned. The failure mode was a buzz generated by the midrange cone. Upon closer inspection I found one of the joints between the diaphragm and the coil former was broken or loose. This will definitely be covered by your warranty, and you can disregard the memo bill sent. Thank you for your business.

 

Best regards and Happy Listening!

 

Rob

Prof if you go to Strata-Gee.com and go to the Thiel closing article at the bottom of the comments section you'll read who bought the Thiel Sub Integrator.
