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!

My CS3s had dual binding posts.

I definitely remember reading that Jim thought that biwiring caused more problems than it solved.  Sounds like he tried it once, decided it was a bad idea, and never did it again.  

"A single pair of five-way binding posts on the loudspeaker's bottom panel provides signal connection. Thiel believes that bi-wiring can cause detrimental interaction between the cable and loudspeaker, and therefore offers only a single input (footnote 2)"

I suspect it might have been more of an opportunity for the end user to make things worse. Still, I can't help but wonder if the models with bass boosting eq's might not have had some different considerations.

Thanks! for posting jon_5912
Any speaker that requires bi/tri-wiring would not interest me either.
JT was very wise in his approach to loudspeaker building.
Happy Listening!
