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!

This is a great forum:. "Thiel Owners"
The best and most honest/fact based of this Audiogon site, in my opinion

Not a lot of BS, and if miss-stated, there is always a nice respectful return

keep up good work

Thank You - frozentundrafor the kind words and contributions here.  Happy Listening!
Thank You- tomthielfor your continued participation and contributions here. Awhile back one of the owners proposed that we list our serial numbers from our loudspeakers to gain a better idea on figures. This is open for all models from CS 3.7 to Vintage status.
Happy Listening!
As someone who has owned the 2 series since 1985, lived with the 2.7's for over 3 years, and now the 3.7's for a few months,   i would like to weigh in on the comparison of the two.   Boy there are no losers here as both are great and i for one, could happily live with either.  Even before i read Tom's post above about the 2's being more responsive,  i had come up with what i thought might be an apt metaphor.   Comparing the two speakers is like comparing a 3 series BMW to a 5 series.  Both are awesome but in different ways as the 3 is a bit more sporty and responsive and the five is more comfortable and luxurious.  That is how i hear the speakers.  My musical tastes are divided between classical (50%) and rock/pop/jazz at 50%.  However I find big symphonic music to be my most favorite thing and that requires moving more air and having a bigger sound.   I think it is more difficult to produce a symphony in full swing versus say a Lyle Lovett or Mark Knopfler.  So for me,  and based on that criteria, as much as i liked the bit more nuance that i got from the 2.7's,  i find the power and the majesty (remember that album) of the 3.7's to be more to my liking. If your musical tastes are towards smaller ensembles or more nuanced music,  the 2.7's may be the better speaker.  As i said earlier,  no losers here.
I added a SS2.2 sub and positioned it between the 2.7s (PX05 crossover).  Nice
