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!

coincident driver takes the compromise out of nearfield listening.

When I have the house to myself for the evening, I pull the coffee table out and sit on a wooden low back chair in front of my couch. I am unable to hear deleterious effects from the coffee table (ie, reflections) but this chair puts my ears probably 3-4” lower and, maybe, 7’ from the speakers. I get great sound from my “normal” position (ears an inch or two below tweeter axis and 8.5-9’ away) but this “nearfield” position is intoxicatingly immediate and engaging. From trials bringing the couch away from the rear wall and closer to the speakers, I think the lower position is more responsible for improved SQ but being closer seems to help, also.

 

 

I believe that what is causing the page to stretch horizontally, at least when viewed in Firefox, is the long URL in Unsound’s post dated 4-3-2019 at 12:32 p.m. EDT.

Yes, the problem seems to be the ebay link in that post and it shows in Firefox but not Safari.

my page is stretched as well. Not sure why this occurred?

I can vouch for a Threshold T-400 amp. I heard this amp with a Pass Labs XP-10 preamp several years ago- excellent solid state combo for little money.  These are classic designs that still hold up in 2019.
Happy Listening!
unsound, tomthiel, jafant - thanks for all the input, it is very helpful and much appreciated. 

unsound, Coincidentally, while digging through some old threads about Threshold amps on the audiogon forum I came across Jon Soderberg's name (I think it was a thread you were part of) and I subsequently emailed him with a few questions.
