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!

Good to see you again. Hope you are well and enjoying the Summer at your locale.  Happy Listening!

Hello everyone, it’s been a long time. Lost my job and finally got a new one, so my audiophile hobby was put on hold. Had a chance to dust off my system and start listening again. Man I love good music and good sound!

Curious if there is a sonic difference (improvement) when adding outriggers, or it is merely to stabilize the speaker? In particular, does it change the sound from my 2.7s? I got them used a few years ago and the original owner didn’t have any but if there is a difference, I might try to track down a pair, perhaps Rob might have some?
Also, is there a difference in sound (again improvement) if I use the stabilizer feet that does come with the speakers in case I can’t source any outriggers? I apologize if this has been discussed previously or in another thread. If so, I would greatly appreciate a link to them. Thank you for your thoughts!

Good to have you here again. The best aspect of our hobby is that it weathers life's storms. We have quite a few CS 2.7 fans and owners on the Panel. Stay tuned for a reply to your query.  I look forward in reading more about your system, musical tastes.


Happy Listening!

Happy Listening!

hey Batman,   i have used both 2.7 and 3.7 speakers with outriggers and think they help.   however i strongly recommend testing feet from Gaia and the brass feet from Mapleshade.  i used them both with the outriggers.  However if outriggers cannot be used,  then  try those feet directly under the speaker. 

Talking about the value of our systems versus everything else,  I too had to laugh.  not counting my home,  my audio system is my most valuable asset.
True story:  in 1978 I bought my dream car,  a baby blue 1976 BMW 2002.  It was so cool and sharp.  a year or so later i got a job working in a mid and upper end hi fi store.  sold Dahlquist,  Maggies, and Infinity among others.  At this store,  we were able to get things at a special employee "accommodation price"  that allowed us to get things below dealer cost.  Oh boy.  since i really had no extra money (still in grad school) I did something totally stupid and sold the BMW and bought a cheap ass little honda cvcc (a pregnant rollerskate).  took the money that was left and bought audio stuff.  Been crazy about this hobby ever since.
