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!

Good to see you - jonandfamilynice list and yes, it was a tough decision to come up with (5) albums.Happy Listening!
Nice list - ronkentI concur about "Tango in the Night" being an excellent CD. I will have to check out the remaster, as I own, the original 80's CD.  What year is the remaster?
Happy Listening!

seek out the original RUSH discs on the Mercury "Atomic" label.Additionally, most fans like the Mobile Fidelity (MOFI) Gold CDs.I cannot speak for the remasters, other to report, that this catalog has been remastered several times over. There are even a few titles on SHM-CD imports.
Keep me posted as you find the perfect set for your ears.Happy Listening!
hi Jafant,  here is the link to the FM.   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9R3TIM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1                                               it is outstanding and i like all the songs except one (11 i think).  thanks for the tip on Rush.  do you have a favorite album as i do not have any at this moment.    another really great album is Mr. Lucky by John Lee Hooker.

here is the report from the man who got my 2.7's.   his system will need a lot of work but at least he now has speakers to let him hear the changes being made.

Good afternoon.

 

I got them unpacked and setup late yesterday afternoon. Listened for about an hour or so to the same tracks plus some others. The one difference I am hearing is more air, more open in the mids and upper registers. But the biggest difference is in the bottom end. It is much more solid, with better depth and better control (I made no changes to the sub, still crossed over at 50hz). I told you how much I didn't like the bass before on the live "Hotel California', too much, too boomy with the 1.6's. The 2.7's sound very good on that track, they have great presence and great control of that bottom end. No longer bothersome. Similar to how they sounded in your room.  

 

My wife doesn't have a critical ear, her only comment was that they are bigger, but not as a complaint, just a comment. ;-)  

 

I think I will start looking at amplifiers and subs for my next upgrades in the next year or so. Which model(s) of REL would you recommend based on my room size 14x20x8?
