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!

It never hurts to demo other brands on the flip-side.

I think there was a thread where prof auditioned tons of speakers but he couldn't find a reason to switch.

prof and I had a couple of discussions on the 3.7 vs 2.7 Thiels. 
I was able to audition both speakers over a couple of weeks at the dealer's, using my collection of classical and organ CDs.   I settled for the 2.7s, plus a SS2.2 sub,   Close contest, but the sub made the difference.

Your ears did not deceive - it is very close comparing the CS 2.7 to CS 3.7 models.  Room size is the contributing factor I found.


Happy Listening!

Andy, yes my "Contemplating Devore speakers" thread.  I just added another speaker audition to it: Spendor D7s.

The Spendors just didn't sound as natural as my 2.7s.  The 2.7s seemed to beat them in just about every parameter.

prof,

Your taste seems a bit discriminating. Some of the on-line reviews of the D7 have been pretty positive.

Here’s a sample of one reivew:

  • Massively detailed
  • Exceptional dynamics
  • Precise and articulate presentation
  • Cohesive sound
  • Deliver a huge sound for their size
  • Unfussy nature

It seems like the 3.7s have spoiled you like a secretary being spoiled
by rich parents :-)
