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!

Can’t decide whether to trust you or my lying ears. @ronkent probably in the same predicament.

But because you’re apparently into numbers, riddle me this. How many watts are needed to get 85 dB from CS2.4 at the listening position 8-9’ away?

Also, what do you imagine JA meant when he wrote: 
“Thiel CS2.4 owners should make sure they have a good 4 ohm–rated amplifier to drive this speaker.”
@bluetone, I had my 3.5's mids rebuilt by Thiel. I am confident you will be very pleased.

@thielrules, very, very exciting stuff! I don’t know what I can do to help, but if I can, I am very willing. FWIW, I’m currently in NJ.

Have you considered using something like the DEQX products.

might make things a lot easier.


I tested the need for high current amps with my new 3.7. And compared carefully my Bryson 3bst with a pair of 7bst, both in parallel and serial setting. Bottom line, the difference in current capacity never came into play as I never reached the spl where the 3bst was under powered. If your listening level is 85 db or less, this is a non issue. My amp was using less then 30 watt per channel and the basic laws still apply. My listening space is fairly large, 30 by 30 by 16 ft. So I like a full sound that the 3.7 delivers. Of course, if you like your music loud and push the limit, the actual current limits may come into play before you realize it.
