Thiel Owners

Great Thread,
I had to downsize my B&W801S3.   I had heard Thiel years ago so I bought used Theil 2.2. I first noticed how musical they sounded over the B&W. So the B&W got sold.
Now my Vintage system is
Accuphase DP70 CD Player
Audioquest Columbia Unbalanced interconnect
Levinson 380S Preamp
Madrigal CZ Gel Balaanced Interconnect
Levinson 332 Amp
Audioquest Clear Speaker Cable
Thiel 2.2
Mirage Sub
Only the CD player has been recapped so far.

Had both a pair of svs pb 12 and sb12 on trial. Likely will end up keeping all of them.

Put my Thiel CS2.4 back in rotation and wow! They are truly amazing speakers. In some regards, besting my Audio Physic Avanti 3.

I'm fortunate enough to have 2 pair of speakers of this caliber that I can swap in and out at will. Yes, a bit of work, but so worth it!

The Thiel's can disappear like no others when you give them the best recorded material. It's almost scary at times!

Jan - thanks for your comments. I am looking forward to including the 2.4s in my queue. They seem to be the audiophile darling in lots of ways, and I hope to calibrate how they stack up with the other models in my rotation. In particular my present work seeks to tame the consistently reported brash congestion with less than best recordings. That problem is not only the recording - the speaker can also be made to handle that situation better.

All - I'm looking forward to what 2020 will bring to these old Thiel classics. Merry Christmas
