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!

I believe that some ( especially me ) 2.7 owners hope the Rob Gillum comes up with a crossover board upgrade
Make your opinions known here. Tom Thiel intends to help Rob Gillum engineer XO upgrades for multiple Thiel models . . . and he is monitoring this thread. He is working on his Power Points now, CS2.4 is probably next (actually, CS2.4 owners can get the SE version caps from Rob Gillum right now). CS3.5 is on his radar. I think the 2.3 would be easy given the similarity with the 2.4, 2.7 might not be too much more work. I suspect written requests in this thread will influence the order of model he works on.

This is an exciting development. I think these upgrades will bring Thiel SQ to a new level.
Excellent suggestion - ronkent
a REL subwoofer makes a nice addition to any system. Good to learn that it can compliment the CS 2.7 loudspeaker.

Happy Listening!
Since I have had my 2.4's I have been playing with cables. I have a dozen different ones I have gathered over the years. Nothing high priced. But I thought I would mention that my system seemed to click in to another level when I put in the van den hul 'the first' ic's.  They seem to open up the sound stage for me and keep things natural sounding which is my highest priority. Have any of you moved on from these to anything else that contributes to a 'more' natural sound? Thanks
Good to see you- marqmike

When I was auditioning Thiel speakers, the only cabling brand that I heard was, Audioquest. I do not believe that I have ever read about a brand that did not jive well w/ Thiel? I will add that due to these speakers' high resolution capability, cabling with Silver, could present an issue.

Happy Listening!
