Thiel Owners

Good catch- unsound and marqmike.
The CS 2.4 does not have a powered woofer section. It does not need one, in my opinion.  All listening was conducted w/o any subwoofer. This was my first introduction to Goldenear speakers. The Ribbon tweeter really shines and images well. The soundstage had plenty of depth and width in appropiate manner. All instruments exhibited proper texture with excellent separation, space and air. Still, Thiel captures a more naturally rich timbre.

Happy Listening!

Class A/B according to the website. Most important of all, this amp is hand built, 100% in-house, Canada. I did verify with Anthem directly.

now, the fun really begins as I start pondering a CD/SACD spinner and cabling that ties it all together. I have only heard Anthem gear w/ Audioquest cabling (older models). Other than Audioquest, I have spent the most time with Transparent Audio cabling (I do not know if this brand is a sonic match?).

Jafant, I do hope you get to hear the STR with your Thiel’s before committing to it.
I wouldn’t exactly agree that it’s “very powerful”, not with your Thiel’s at least.
Look at the specs below 4 Ohms, both the integrated and the SRT power amp seem to drop current output fairly dramatically (for ss) below 4 Ohms, which is where your 2.4’s reside from 100 Hz straight through past 20 KHz. Below 100 Hz the 2.4’s impedance curve is a bit of a roller coaster ride with some challenging phase angles too. It’s power output below 4 Ohms is comparable to a less than 138 Watts per channel amp that could truly double down to 2 Ohms. Of course, depending on room, source material and desired listening volumes, either could be satisfactory.
Personally I would be concerned about depreciation purchasing one of these new.
