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!

If they need help, Rob will help you. If you want to take them to the next performance level, we'll have an upgrade path for you.

 

IMNSHO, buying a nice pair of used Thiels might become the most-cost-effective way to get near SOTA sound. For starters, the stock versions are already excellent (as Tom noted), sonically competing with new models many times their price. Buying a used Thiel is not worrisome given the available service and parts from Coherent Source Service.

Tom Theil’s crossover upgrades should push sonic performance to the next tier. We’ll soon know. If that’s true, you can buy a nice used pair and upgrade the passive parts to get something that approaches SOTA sound. As a bonus, you have speakers that look really good in your listening room.  


As I am elderly and live in a condo I had to nix the deal when I found out they
weighed over 100 lbs !
Sounded great though .
Bert - the CS1 series weighs very little. The CS1.6 is on the upgrade list.

Thank You for citing your amp upgrade and matching Cardas power cord (PC). There is much information in these Audio forums on B.A.T. gear and tube rolling to achieve a personal "sound". I do know that Cardas Clear and Beyond PC mate well with tubed gear.  Keep me posted as you massage the VK-55 into your room, system.

Happy Listening!
