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!

we all hear differently. Continue to exercise speaker placement based upon your personal tastes. Test CD(s) are a nice start and will provide some degree of insight. Ultimately, trust your own ears.

Happy Listening!

jafant,

What stage are you at with your system?

You have the 2.4SE is that right?  How are they sounding and what amps/sources are you using?

Come to think of it, I haven't retested my system since I replaced the 2.4s with the 2.7s so it's been over 10 years.  The place where I bought my speakers is who originally came to my home to test and set up my system way back when, but they're no longer in business.  Should I try to find someone else to do it?  How hard would it be to do the testing and re-calibration myself, and what would I need?  I can borrow an SPL meter, standard one from Radio Shack I believe, from my brother-in-law (I think he still has it) but nothing else and no test CD.  What test CDs have people here used?  If someone can point me to a good site or discussion topic that shows what I need and how to set it up, I would greatly appreciate it.  I'm always willing to try something new, or at least take a look to see if it's beyond my capabilities and get someone else to do it!

geoffkait, you mentioned the XLO Test CD.  Did you do the setup and calibration yourself?  If so, do you have any tips?
