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!

Much Thanks for sharing your 3.5 purchasing experiencing. During my auditions Don represented Audio Research, Cambridge Audio, Rega and Rogue Audio. Maggies and Sonus Faber were the loudspeaker lines. Straight Wire cables/power cords entry level, low-tier only. I recall that we talked about his Engineering Degree. I do not believe that he divulged his discipline? I enjoyed his passion for electronics and musical selections.


Happy Listening!

Guys, can any of you help me with some basic information re the CS1.6?  I just bought a pair for the hot rod garage, but won't see them for a couple of weeks - I've never seen a pair. I need to know the dimensions of the slot / port. How wide is the slot and how deep from the inside / back to the start of the flare? Is the inside edge eased / rounded in any way? 

Any information would be helpful in developing some ideas around upgrading port performance. Thank you in advance.

From memory, the 1.6 front facing port is about 1.5” wide and maybe a foot tall. Probably about 2” thick and I’m going to guess the inside edge is square. Doesn’t seem like many 1.6 owners post here.

The slot is about 1/2" wide x 12" long, inside the speaker there’s a about 1" thick x 2.5" height wooden wall around the slot (as port tube?), and yes it is rounded on the slot side.
Hope it help.
