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.
