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!

thanks to Tom and everyone else.   I agree about the two speakers.   at this point of break in, my girlfriend likes the 2.7's better and wants to keep them.  I am very fussy about the sound of the cd's i have and  most are pretty well recorded,  and i think the 3.7's will allow me to hear deeper into them and enjoy them more.  they are getting better but need more time.

There are substantial differences applied to the coax by the two designers and/or assemblers. I have Jim's 3.7 schematic + layout, but only a designer layout for the 2.7.  The 3.7 was all Thiel in-house and it seems the 2.7 was outsourced to ERSE-USA. To correlate what this community hears with the fact matrix I am assembling, I would appreciate detailed photos of the crossovers of both models to learn parts quality of the various components.  The simplest method for me is via email - tomthiel@worldpath.net. Thanks for your help.

I have chosen the CS3.6 for its more sophisticated proprietary drivers and more accessible solutions.
Interested in internal upgrades for my CS3.6s.

Tom would like input from the larger community as he finalizes his plans. So, please respond “yea” or “nay” regarding outboard crossovers so that he can gauge interest.
Not so interested at this time but might be in the future.
