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!

Hi jafant, it's been quite a while sorry for not responding lately.
I was pretty busy with high end headphone rigs in the past months and therefore diden't use my CS 3.7s.
Since i don't yet have the budget to complete my Thiel system i got into high end headphones last year and i'm really liking it.
I need advice on choosing a very good int amp for my Thiels.
If some of the 3.7 owners use an int amp to drive them please let me know what is your best choice.

thieliste,

I doubt many 3.7 owners have driven the 3.7s with a succession of different amps.  But FWIW, I've found the 3.7s pretty easy to drive.
My 140W/side Conrad Johnson tube amps drive them great (great tone, grip, control) and even a 14W integrated tube amp sounded wonderful (if less taught in the bass) on the 3.7s.

Like most speakers you'll probably realise the greatest dynamics the more good watts you throw at them.  But that's the usual trade off between tubes and SS amps on most speakers of average efficiency/impedance.
