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!

cabinlife,
congratulations!.....the enjoyment start from here! Let us know your finding once arrived.
hi Cabinlife,  congrats as well.   they were how i started my journey with Thiel back in 1985. they can be a bit bright so pay attention to amp, cables etc.  Also i have a pair of Sound Anchors that i used to use with them as they needed them for stability and leveling.   Let me know if you would be interested in them.  
cabinlife - I offer my assistance in documenting your CS2s for the purpose of educating us all in their particulars. There was a XO refinement in May '87 and original electrolytic caps are up to 35 years old. And so forth. If you like, you can post your serial numbers and whatever else you wish and various folks here might help guide you toward optimizing their performance.

I have 2.4s and am looking at REL subwoofers.

REL asks for your speaker to recommend which sub is recommended.

Thiel does not make the list. Which of the speakers  there best reflects the 2.4’s sound?

Or, which subwoofer do people recommend ?

preferably in the 1-2k range (dollars)..

thanks

The recent mention of the CS2 piqued my interest and perhaps the Thiel hive-mind can help me. I have a pair that I bought in 1990 (sn 11263, 11264) that I retired last year with used 2.4s, which I then upgraded using Rob GIllum's caps & outriggers. The new setup is great but I'd like to find a use for the 2.0s, but don't really have the space in my house for them. The mid-range & tweeters were replaced in about 2010, and the woofer was rebuilt by Thiel at the factory. Are these worth keeping (assuming I can find a use), and if so, should I replace the caps or do other work on them? The cabinets are in decent condition and I have them stored in their factory cartons.
