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!

I'd guess the reason the 2.7 didn't get a Stereophile review was because Wes Phillips had stopped writing.  He reviewed the 3.7 and I think bought them.  He reviewed a lot of Thiels over the years.  I think by the time the 2.7s came out he was in poor health.  He died a couple of years ago.

The Thiel TM3 stand mount and the aurora portable speakers have been on Amazon for a long time.  Overpriced, though.  No reviews on any of them so I don't think anybody is buying.  If they really have a big inventory of all of the newer Thiel lines I'd bet those will be real bargains at some point.  Overpriced at 5k is probably great at $1,000.  It's been a while since a lot of gear ended up on the market at crazy low prices.  Maybe not since Tweeter closed.

Good to see you here. I have not read about too many Thiel users and Class D power amps. Looking for ward in read more about your system.Keep me posted on the Bel Canto / Thiel combo vs. Bryston and Krell.
Happy Listening!

Most likely so as Wes Phillips was very fond of Thiel Audio loudspeakers.
He gave the CS 2.4 a glowing review.  Happy Listening!
Guys,
I can report, having carried both models, the CS 2.4SE is a touch more solid in its cabinet (Canadian Maple) than the stock CS 2.4 loudspeaker.A little less resonate in sound as well. I do not know if the SE has more anti-vibration innards vs. the regular 2.4-
Happy Listening!

Can you imagine if they would have taken  the cs5 and did the improvements tom talked about removing the bucket brigade resistors, up shimming the woofers and setting them up for bi amping! Using the new speaker material technology! How would that Have been for a flagship model ! Oh What could have been!
