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!

i may be a little dense here,   but i do not see pics nor any way to post them.  what am i missing.
I started my Thiel experience with a pair of 3.5s - - the only infinite baffle floor-standing speakers Thiel put on the market. I called Thiel, and somehow ended up in a conversation with Jim Thiel. Our conversations lasted over a few years, with our last conversation being about the amplifiers  to drive the current line. He said that there was no substitute for clean power at both ends, viz., at the several watt level and the hundreds of watts level. He steered me to Bryston. I now have a pair of 2.7s and a SS2 subwoofer connected via a PX02 crossover. A Bryston 4bsst2 amplifier provides the watts. It took some time to find the best speaker placements, but now I'm a Happy Camper. The 
Welcome! brayeagleyou will find the 3.5 model very popular here. I will second the Bryston 4B-SST/SST2 power amp. This combo is a very fine match. I want to demo the new 4B3 (cubed) for a comparison.  I look forward in reading more about you and your Audio journey.
Happy Listening!
Hi jafant,
I became an audiophile before WWII, listening to Victor Red Seal 78s on my parents console using cactus needles. After WWII, I began building and assembling a series of systems, including using the Thiele Small parameters to construct my speaker cabinets. I transitioned from Heathkits to Scott, then quit assembling the components when I got hooked on Macintosh.  I went from 78s to 45s to LPs, to reel-to-reel tape and finally to CDs.
I switched from tubes to solid state when the supply of KT88s became iffy in both quality and quantity. I'm a classical music nut, with more CDs than common sense. My current CD player is a Bryston BCD-3. My children and grandchildren are wondering why I don't switch to streaming - - but that's another story.
