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!

thanks,  but it would be interesting to see who else has had a problem with blown drivers in the x.7 models.  i certainly cannot be the only one but maybe i am.   i play my music loud but my girlfriend who does not like it too loud,   rarely says anything to me.  usually 80-85 db
Ron and all. I placed a query to Rob via phone message this morning. I will post what I learn. This information is indeed germane to all on this board.
I blew the midrange on my 3.7s the first few months I had them.  I was listening to Beethoven The Revolutionary loud.  I took the driver out myself and it didn't look scorched or anything to me.  That was back in 2012 and they've been fine since then.  They were an early pair I believe.  The serial numbers on the boxes are 41 and 42 I think.  I bought them used from Audio Consultants so it's possible they weren't the original boxes that came with the speakers.

Folks, for those who blew drivers, like the 2.7/3.7  coax, what were the sonic symptoms?  Did the sound just die?  Or did a crackle develop in the sound....something like that?

(The only driver I've ever seen damaged in my home is, apparently, one of my Hales T1 monitors which plays the R channel in my home theater.I think it was hit with some too-heavy bass at one point and these days, although it sounds fine with most material, a super low/heavy bass signal will make it pop and crackle).
