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!

Guys (and galls?) I could use your help in "diagnosing" my speaker problems. I have 2 sets of Thiel 3.5's and the newer set shows an acceptable measurement curve using REW and the build-in sweep measurement. My older speakers that I power with a Bryston 3B-STin a large 30x30ft room, show problematic measurements for each speaker, taken about 5 ft from each speaker, especially in the lower ranger 20-100 hz. I have links to the REW datafiles so you can examine them if you have REW, a free program. I have tentatively concluded that one woofer may need replacement but I'm curious about your opinions. Are these speakers reaching their end of life? Speaker are 12 ft apart.
Right speaker, from 4- 5 ft

Okay after all this talk of amps, i need to put in a big plug here for the power regenerators from PS Audio. I started years ago with the PPP,  then to the P5, and now am using a P10 (which i will be selling next month in order to buy the new P15). these beasts make a huge difference in the sound quality of my system,  and many people just overlook how important they are. I would rather have an amp that retails for 5 grand,  and a P10 for 5 grand,  than an amp for 10 grand.  They are an important component and affect the sound as much as the room itself.   Just in case anyone is thinking i am a PS employee,  let me assure you I am not.  I have a great menswear store in Greensboro NC and (shameless plug here),   if anyone really likes nice menswear,  they need to check us out.   www.thehubltd.com

Much Thanks! tomthielfor the continued insight and perspective(s) on the facts that made Thiel into the best loudspeaker company since inception. Good to read that you found a repair service for those Classe' power amps. That company has a strong following as well. Keep researching and writing.

Happy Listening!
Good to see you - thosb
I discovered Spoon (2) albums back from their current offering. Yes, this thread is strong  by the grace of the contributors, experts and fans.
As your reading proves, there are many of the guys that have owned Thiel loudspeakers since the 1980's. Impressive!
Happy Listening!
