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!

Bighempin - if you contact Rob re the cap / nacelle on the 3.7, you might also ask the following: Does he know the serial number breaks for the 3 versions of the 3.7?  I have developed XO schematics for the original, revision 1 and revision 2, but do not know where they occurred.
If you find out, please share it with us all.
Thanks. Tom
Hey Tom!
I sent an email with your question and several others. I will keep you all posted on the response.
Thanks for the help.
Sometimes you take it for granted what you have.  After hearing a few garden varieties speakers even at pretty high price, you realize how good the CS2.4.  The only thing I wish for is a bit more bass and I suspect some would agree.  I guess the solution is:

1. If you like 2.4 but something better, then try to get another 7 ... that is either 2.7 or 3.7.
2. If you still want to keep the 2.4, upgrade the xover with audiophile quality caps.
3. Augment the CS2.4 with two high quality sub's - one for the left and oe for the right channel.  
Andy - I second your motion. As car guys say, the least expensive option is the one you have. So if you have 2.4s, then upgrading resistors and caps is a huge bang for the buck.

I concur with the 2 sub solution. The CS2 - 8" woofer just can't move tons of air. Two smaller subs definitely trumps one larger one. I use Thiel SmartSubs . . . just because. But they are noisy and not presently repairable, so I can't recommend them. If you can cross a pair of subs properly, everything gets big.
