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!

rosami, while there has been some incremental improvement (IMHO more hype than substance) over the years in speaker design, I still think the real value is with some of the older stuff. Some of the great designers, like Jim Thiel, John Dunlavy, Peter Walker, etc.,  have past, and there hasn't been a stampede of newer one's jumping to take their unique places. If you like Thiel's you might want to check out offerings from Duntech, Green Mountain, and Vandersteen. I suspect the next generation of speaker design on the horizon might be a bit different with more internal DSP functions. Time will tell.

great timing for another consideration of Thiel speakers. Over on eBay, there are several pairs of CS 2.4 loudspeakers. Grab a demo if you can,

much has changed since the CS 3.6 model. Keep us posted should you decide to go in a different brand, direction.


Happy Listening!

check out eBay as there are (2) pairs of CS 2.4 in New York. Then, there is a single pair in NH, followed by another single pair, in RI. Hope these wonderful speakers peak an interest and you are able to score an audition.  Keep us posted on the next direction.


Happy Listening!

I picked my bryston 3b st to drive my 3.5 and with a impedance of 5, and worked out really well. For my 3.7 I have decided on the 7b St monoblocks that I will run in parallel bridged mode, resulting in 500 Watts at 3 ohm and all the current that can could be needed. I also looked at the 14bsst but was told that it could not be converted to parallel mode so the 7b St were the last ones that could be switched parallel or serial.

Thank You for the Bryston 7B suggestions. I will make an effort to obtain information of the newer (cubed) edition of this amp.  Happy Listening!
