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!

I owned 2.3s in the past and help deliver a bunch of 2.4s (and 2.3s) when a friend worked at a local audio store many moons ago.  Vocals on the 2.4s are a bit more relaxed and open.  The 2.4s also felt to me a bit more dynamic in the bass region.

the CS 2.4 . . . benefits from a small degree of toe-in, IMO
I think mine sound best with no toe-in. I have ‘em 7’-10” apart, so maybe closer than your configuration?

Btw, what amp are you using?

I am looking for advice for a power amp for my cs 2.4. I recently purchased a pair of cs 2.4. I am running them through arcam amplification . The fmj c 31 preamp and p35 power amp. The power amp is rated at 100 w per channel at 8 and 150 w per channel at 4 ohms. Cables are kimber 12tc. 
I can spend 1000$ on a power amp , used. I would appreciate any suggestions or is p35 good enough to drive the 2.4.
i listen to vocal music and jazz.

thank you in advance .

Welcome! Good to read about another CS 2.4 owner. Take the time to read through this thread for pertinent information regarding electronics to make your loudspeakers sing.  Over the years, I have read about combining Arcam and Bryston gear.  Have fun!


Happy Listening!
