Thiel Owners

George - thank you for this post. I used the 2.4 spec in error. The germane point is that Thiel's Passive xo does not attenuate the main speaker's low end - in this case a little below 35 Hz.

When I first saw those specs, I noticed the Impedance of 2.4 ohms @ 160 Hz. Thankfully, the 4BSST2 was up to the task.

Excellent! Thank You for the XO project update. I know that you are having fun and re-capturing some of the Glory of previous days with Jim.You guys were quite a loudspeaker manufacturing force!

Happy Listening!

Many thanks to all on this site, especially Unsound. The insights and experiences posted here led me to purchase a pair of 3.5's. I very briefly considered Maggies, but I have enjoyed my 2.2's so much since 1992 that I had no choice but to move up the Thiel chain. WOW! Even with my ss integrated amp which only delivers 80 watts into 4 ohms I am blown away. I didn't think they were going to sound that much better or present such a holographic image. Nirvana!

Welcome! Good to see you here. The 3.5 loudspeaker is a Panel favorite.Equally, there are a few owners and fans of the CS 2.2 as well. You are correct in your assessment about an integrated amp bringing all of that Aural goodness. It only gets better as one increases  power delivery.
I look forward in reading more about your Audio journey and musical tastes.
Happy Listening!
