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!

rwmeditz, It would appear that your unusually flexible integrated (kudos to Linn) might allow you to insert the 3.5's eq between the Intek's pre out and the Intek's amp in.  Caveat: the manual does suggest dealer support when using the Intek's amp input!

This would free up all your inputs and tape loops.

As your using the minimum suggested power output into your 3.5's, you might want to consider the 20/40 Hz button on the 3.5's eq when playing tracks with loud deep bass. Damage is more likely with under powered rather than over powered amplification.

Hello. 

Has anyone here conducted business with High End Audio Auctions on eBay?  They’re located in Brooklyn. 

Reason that I ask is because they list a pair of CS3.5 currently.  There’s no mention in their listing if the EQ is included. I just sent an inquiry to them regarding that.  

I loves me Maggie MMGi’s but I can’t wait until I toss a pair of Thiels at my Belles 250i Integrated. Man, this is a remarkably musical product.

Tweeter for 3.5 was the dynaudio D28a. And the successor. Still show up on eBay at times and Rob G. still had a few available not that long ago. Substituting a driver is more complicated then it appears, although the Tweeter replacement might be the easiest to match to the original.

I have not had any dealing w/ High End Audio Auctions in Brooklyn.Read over the eBay feedback- people are pretty honest over there.
I can relate to your musical impressions on the Belles 250i amp.Earlier this year, I felt the same way about the Ayre AX-5 Twenty Integrated amp. I kept arriving to the same sweet conclusion = Musical!

Happy Listening!

3.5 experts - Thank You for addressing the Tweeter issue / solution as posted by harrylavo.  This model could very well be the most popular loudspeaker discussed here. There is something to be said for classic gear.

Happy Listening!
