prof,
Agree!
My 3.5s didn't project this way. The 27s and SS2.2 sub have made me a very happy camper.

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!

Updated my virtual systems page... Picked up the 2.4’s from seller in NYC. It was a typical mid-August summer afternoon in the city, about 94 degrees with oppressive humidity. 3rd floor walk-up, tight stairwell, 5 landings and about 100 stairs. (At least it felt that way.) Original owner, all paperwork, manual, floor spikes, AND a spare midrange/tweeter driver! That wasn’t mentioned in his eBay listing. Very cool beans. Did my bestest 62 year old he-man imitation and picked those 70 pound cabinets up by myself, taking a break on every other landing to catch my breath and wipe the sweat from my brow. Total travel time, payment, removal, and set up in me house? Four hours. (I once sold off a pair of CS3.5’s because I found them to be “too heavy” to futz around with. Umm, these 2.4’s weigh EXACTLY the same.) But the slightly taller cabinets make futzing just a touch simpler. So here I am, back with another excellent pair of Thiel loudspeakers once again - this time for keeps. I ain’t kidding. |
@oblgny, Sounds like you have a nice quiet and dark listening environment. I could say the same, except the wildlife trips the spot lights from time to time. The meters can be worse than just annoying. I can't tell you how many times I've seen new amps with stereo meters being fed mono sources (yes, we swapped cables and components to be sure) where the different channel meters varied wildly. I remember someone posting here on Audiogon about 10 years ago, re: Pass Labs quoting an above $400 cost for one new meter on an X250. Back then X250's were about $6K new. That's quite a $% for a superfluous part. I can only imagine what it might cost today. Good luck with your new (for you) Thiel's! |
oblgny Good to see you back in a pair of Thiel Audio loudspeakers, CS 2.4 model, no less. I hope to schedule a Transparent demo in the Fall. I really want to hear the Gen5 offerings. The MM and MM2 series are still very fine and viable. Keep me posted as you massage the CS 2.4 into your room/system. Happy Listening! |
there are pairs of 2.2's and 2.4's on audiogon if anyone missed them and needs a new speaker. https://www.audiogon.com/listings?q=thiel |
