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!

Nicely cited about the left most one or two keys on a Piano.

Agreed, zero desire to add a subwoofer.  Happy Listening!

During my hundreds of demo hours, I never felt the need to add a subwoofer to the CS 2.4 loudspeaker. To my ears it is perfectly balanced.


Happy Listening!

It depends on the size of your listening room.  As good as the CS2.4, as far as the bass is concerned, it cannot compete with other speakers with 10in. or 2x10in bass drivers.

I have also a set off Kef's R900, bass of the CS2.4 is the better one for sure.

Andy - couple of quick thoughts. 

1) Correct. A primary difference between the model 2 and model 3 is bass quantity and extension. The model 3 has a 10" woofer with longer excursion and larger passive to produce more than 1.75X the bass of the 2.
2) Jim does not add the customary underdamped bass hump, so Thiel bass is honest.
