Thiel Owners

He preferred Vandersteen saying that the Vans were more musical on more recordings more often than Thiels. But he also zeroed in on what Thiel was doing, how we were approaching our work.

On the flip side, Vandersteen's were always been criticized for being dark and slow :-).

He ended up having to defend his design saying that other speakers tend to have the tweeter running a bit too hot at 2-3db more than they should be.  

We have a dealer here in Atlanta who sold both Thiels and Vandersteen but did better with Vandersteen sales wise than with Thiel.  I ordered my 2.4's in beautiful ebony from said dealer and they were and are fantastic.  

tomic601Thank You for the initial report. What gear including cabling in in the CS 2.3 system? I look forward in reading more reports as the speakers bloom.
Happy Listening!

pwhinsonbrings up an excellent report. As I am finding out, Atlanta, has a strong history with Thiel Audio. I receive many emails and PM away from here that states these facts.  These gentlemen still own several different models.

Happy Listening!

Tomic- Rob has all spikes and spare parts or can supply specs.
Also, if you develop such interest, your 2.3s can be readily upgraded via what we are learning with the 2.4. The 2.3 XO is much simpler with fewer critical parts. Keep us apprised of your 2.3 experience.
