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!

With the CS2.4, when I listened to Pink Floyd Welcome to the Machine track on Wish You Were Here album, the initial sound affects of the track comes practically from the right wall right on my right side at my listening position. With my own speakers or from other brands, the affect comes also from the right wall but further up close to the speakers so it is not quite as spooky as with the CS. I also listened to them at a dealer with a more proper room treatment and the soundstage was even more real.

Good to see you again. Thank You for the update. One will be hard-pressed to better the CS 2.4 loudspeaker.

Happy Listening!

As always, good to see you here my NY Brother.
Yes, the new (not better) rules,  for selling appears to be a point of contention. Hope Audiogon fixes this situation for the betterment of our Community.

PM sent.  
Happy Listening!

PM sent. We will always be here for you. It has been a pleasure having your presence as a valuable member of the Panel. I learned quite a bit of Thiel Audio history plus sonically matched gear per your writings.
In  the short-term, you will be missed.

Happy Listening!


I have been having extensive telephone and email conversations with Tom about my love for certain models of Thiel (mostly the 3.5 and 3.7) and the one problem all have in common: a forward and agressive tendency in the upper midrange. As Tom experiments with solutions to apply to the cs2.x models, I have been duplicating his methods on my cs3.x models. He is tireless in his creativity, coming up with theories, testing them, aquiring variations of materials to compare, etc. And my Theil 3s have been exibiting the same benefits as he describes for the 2s
