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!

Hello all!

Well, the next upgrade to my system come in today, an Audio Research LS-7 tube line-stage.  Bought it from the original owner, about 500 hours on the current tube set.  Unit looks immaculate, but the sound...

Installed it and have it running to my integrated, which I'm using as an amp for now.  Even with that, the LS-7 (once warmed up!) threw a soundstage that wasn't just wider, but deeper front to back as well.  That's what stood out the most...directionality and presence in depth.  As far as how it sounded...there was definitely a greater sense of control, where tonality was better defined, where individual notes and sounds had a clarity I didn't hear before.  3 hours in and I love it...and so do my 3.5's!!!

Now, I need a matching tube amp and phono stage!!!  Ahhh, this isn't a hobby...it's an obsession!!!

Enjoy the music, everyone!

Everyone,

I spoke with Rob, an excellent individual and one of the nicest people on the planet, yesterday. He is in the process of buying the repair service. There is no need to worry. I also asked about the idea of recapping my 3.7s. He told me that would definitely be a plus. He even took the time to mark out what would need to be done on the circuit schematic, and sent that to me. Doesn't get any better than that!
