Good to see you here. We all were stung my the obama years to state the very least. Thank You for sharing your Audio journey. It is certainly time to get back in the game with a sweet pair of CS 2.4 loudspeakers.
You will not regret it.  Keep us posted as you re-build a system.

Happy Listening!

Good to see you.  Happy Listening!

Got my SS2 setup yesterday and I'm floored how much my CS2.4's improved. I expected "more of the same", but playing with the Integrator and changing from augmented to crossover at 50Hz, the speakers took on a completely new dimension. Even smoother, the sound stage got completely 3 dimensional (you can easily pinpoint instruments not only to the left/right, but height as well and front/back).

I could not be happier with the combination of the CS2.4's with the SS2/Integrator.

Glad you're a happy camper with the SS2. I'm the same with mine and the 2.7s.

Enjoy!!

audiojan - Thanks for the update. I have become aware of the audibility of the midrange hash introduced by a port / passive radiator having effects on the whole presentation. I recently participated in a product development blind A/B test where everyone heard that hash in dramatic fashion. (Tannoy - ported)

There is a hypothetical possibility to take your improvements even further.   See Atkinson's CS2.4 review. Note the -10-20db junk from 100 to 1kHz.  Similarly the reflex tuning introduces high-pass phase shift on the woofer roll out. My wish list includes immobilizing the radiator for sealed box second order bass rolloff (like the 3.5) and augmenting with second order SS x Integrator bass. The potential improvements intrigue me greatly.

Of course such modifications would apply to other models as well.

In that light, I hope to find a Thiel Integrator: Any physical condition, $1K max.
