andy - your 2.4s are Lexington made with point to point wiring and 4-9s coils and domestic / european caps. I would consider them superior to later 2.4s with Chinese-made crossovers. I don't know the changeover date, but yours are Lex-made.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the info.  I am glad the XO's in mine are home made. :-)

Thank You for listing your serial numbers. I do not believe that I have seen SN that low for CS 2.4- special speakers indeed.  Happy Listening!

I do not believe that I have seen SN that low for CS 2.4- special speakers indeed.

I think it may become a future classic.  It is a really unique design.  I don't know what others are thinking but there are really nothing about the new speaker designs that interest me.  Maybe I would like to listen to some of the Vandersteen's some day but others than that, there are not too much out there that catches my attention.  A few years ago, Absolute Sound named a pair of speakers (I'd rather not reveal the name) that costs about $100K as the best speakers in the world.  But other than the all aluminum cabinets, the design is more or less a square box with slightly rounded edges to improve diffraction.  It uses high order filters and the drivers although were specifically designed in house, I am sure I could obtain similar quality drivers either from Scan Speak, Seas or Accuton.  I am a bit disappointed in general in most speaker manufacturers.  Most of them are just too derivative.
