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!

Hi jafant, well still searching as you can see, i spoke with a distributor that told me Dartzeel and Ypsilon will not have enough juice in the bass region do drive my 3.7s.He suggested me strong class A amps or SOTA class AB doubling down to 2 ohms.So here am i looking at the Ayre pre-power.Were you able to demo some amps for you 2.4SE's lately ?

Good advice - thielisteYes, I am working on setting up an audition with the Bryston 4B3 power amp soon.  I want to compare it to the older SST/SST2 designs.  Keep me posted on your Ayre demo.  Happy Listening!

Thieliste - I’ve heard an Ayre mxr/kxr combo with the 3.7s and it sounded great. I imagine the 20s will be even better.
