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!

jon - indeed a digital device and/or passive preamp is often not robust enough to drive the particular cables and/or input section of the chosen power amp. Active preamps are designed for that chore to ascertain that the signal voltage swings will indeed arrive at the power amp's inputs. Some cables are harder to drive than others and long runs especially can deplete signal vigor.

contact Mr. Rob Gillum at CSS as above. There are a few gentlemen that use Sound Anchor platforms with their CS 2.4 speakers.  During my auditioning I preferred the speaker sitting on carpet without any decoupling.  How do you like the Pass Labs amp-

Happy Listening!

Good to see you again. Thank You for sharing your diagram with the panel. I am sure that Tom and Beetle will chime in.

Happy Listening!
holco - good judgements, upgrading the signal paths.
Coupla comments. Depending on your serial number and if it is Lexington-made and whether or not it is on masonite or a PCB, the .72mH woofer coil may not be the correct value. Details would help evaluate those particulars. Likewise, if it is Lex-made, the coil will look very tight and well-wound. If so, that is an ERSE coil which, in my opinion, will not be improved by the Jantzen, unless the J is foil.

On the coax board, you are ignoring the parallel feed in the first position. I suggest investigating the 43uF cap and its 16ohm series resistor. At minimum replace that 16ohm with MRA-12s.

Beetlemania might have comments on the other resistors.
