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 guys,  regarding amps,   i have had great success with the PS Audio BHK stereo amp.   would love the mono blocks but they are not in the budget.  I am using it with both the 2.7's and 3.7's and it is really good with them.   Will be selling one pair, most likely the 2.7's,  but still comparing them at this juncture.  Kent Tager

The number of watts doesn't mean everything for Thiel speakers, what is much more important is the current capability of the amp therefore it is better to have 75 watt of pure class A into 4 Ohm than 600 in class AB.
I'm sure a modest Sugden SPA-4 would do better compared to a big 600 watt Krell on the CS 3.7
Refinement is what you have to look for more than the amount of watt with Thiel speakers.
I'm not saying big amps are bad because many of them can sing very well but there are some alternatives.

Good to see you - ronkent

PS Audio has ventured quite away these days w/ their amp/pre-amp and CD/SACD transport / DAC streamer offerings. Not to mention the various power conditioners and regenerators.

Happy Listening!
