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!

Prof, how much for the drivers?  I've been thinking about that myself as I'd like to keep my 3.7s pretty much forever and I imagine Coherent Source Services won't be around more than 10 years, if that long.  My 2 2s are probably 25 years old and get used every day so I imagine the 3.7s probably have another 20 years of life left, maybe more.  

I agree about bigger speakers.  There is no substitute for big drivers in a big box.  
would like some suggestions for a well recorded Rush cd. all i have heard and been bright and one dimensional.   this is a great album and i am not a Mac fan by any means but the music is exciting and the recording quality is great.   https://www.amazon.com/Tango-Night-Remastered-Fleetwood-Mac/dp/B01N9R3TIM/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=...

jon,

It was around $975 for the 3 drivers.  I seem to remember when I inquired a while back that a single set of 3.7 drivers was a bit more expensive.

ron,

I wish I could be of more help.  The remasters I've been listening to of Rush are the recently released vinyl remasters (some done at Abbey Road) and they are stupendous.  Never, ever heard Rush sound like this.

The various CD remasters were done earlier - some in the 90s, others I think around 2009.  I've seem some complaints about the hit or miss quality, some brightness etc.  The 2112 remaster CD seems to get good notices though, and I thought it sounded good on my system.  (But none of them kick it like the vinyl remasters).
thank you so much Prof.  do you have a favorite album musically from them.

the RUSH catalog has been a victim of several re-mastering batches over the years. The first kicked off in 1997. These are not well-done according to the experts (CD). Next wave was in early 2000's. Hit-and miss titles.Next wave in 2009-2011. Again, hit-and-miss. There are "gold" discs via MFSL. There are 35th anniversary / 40th anniversary editions. Sector re-masters boxed sets. I think that I have them all accounted?
To my ears, seek out the original Mercury USA/German "atomic" CDs.Very affordable, easy to spot on eBay or Amazon. These will also refer to PDO or all silver faced (including the hub) discs- I own these ones.
Hope this has been helpful.
Happy Listening!
