Thiel Owners

I know what you mean jon about your 2 2s.  I feel the same about my 3.6’s.  I have never heard or owned a speaker that floats my boat the way they do.  

I also own CS6’s, they are slightly more dynamic, play louder, but not better.  Maybe not as good.  

Excellent counterpoint - jon_5912
I will second Bryston power amps. The BP-25/26 are very fine pre-amps as well.  Happy Listening!

Good to see you - popsmodel 3.6 is a popular one. The best thing about Thiel Audio, is that, there is a loudspeaker for every Audiophile.  Happy Listening!

Jon - Thanks for the Bryston idea. Indeed Classe DR9 is polite and a little "tubey". Bryston might be a good counterbalance.
Pops - I have never felt the need to better my CS2 2s. I'm looking forward to hearing what my XO upgrade work might bring to the table. Mine are pre-production, custom voiced prototypes, but at 28 years old are nearing their electrolytic cap lifespan. With SpectraFoo, and possibly Klippel, I will be able to re-balance all circuits for the very played-in drivers.
