Thanks andy2 for the cable recommendation, jafant I imagine you must have some speaker cable opinions, or maybe could share what the expected differences in outcomes would be for using Duelund 12awg based Acoustic BBQ vs Acoustic Zen's Holographic II, which uses 8awg 6N zero crystal copper? Tube amp driving 2.3s.
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!

thosb I have spent time with Audioquest Mont Blanc and Volcano speaker cables. Both were excellent w/ the CS 2.4SE, CS 2.7 and CS 3.7 models. Honorable mention goes to Audience AU24 series and Transparent Audio MM2 series all of the way up the mighty OPUS, in other non-Thiel systems, over the years. I have read about Acoustic Zen being a sonic match on Thiel Audio loudspeakers. Duelund is a modern favorite with the D.I.Y. crowd (I have not spent any time w/ AZ nor Duelund). Check in over on Audio Asylum for more interpretations of Acoustic Zen and Duelund cable discussions. I can report that Copper matches the best and is worry free. Silver, is a little more dicey on models CS 2.4 through CS 3.7 and requires careful gear consideration. I wonder if silver is less dicey on CS 2.3, 2.2 or other vintage loudspeakers? Happy Listening! |
btw, if you haven't read this thread and don't mind scanning through some atypical (even for audio forums) trolling bs to get to some good info, this is a good discussion centered on class d amps driving Thiels - I learned a lot! https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-class-d-amps-will-drive-a-2-ohm-load |
