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 am looking forward in reading about the consultation with Rob.
Which cables/cords round out your system?
Big Lucinda Williams fan as well.

Happy Listening!
Hey Jafant.

For interconnects, I generally use the Audioquest Evergreens. I think they sound good, are well made, and are generally a good value. My speaker cables are DIY built from some bulk Canare Star Quad cable I picked up a few years ago. 

How about you?


Unsound - you've got me thinking . . . I've been considering the 3.6 as the terminal discrete driver iteration of the model 3. But it might be more rightly thought of as a transition product between the sealed-bass "pure 3s" and the reflex bass "new 3s". The CS3 and 3.5 were, if I remember correctly, identical except for the midrange driver with its crossover tweaks, and the single jacks. The CS3 mid was too fragile and the more robust 3.5 mid was in fact a full-range driver. Any upgrades to the 3.5 could be applied to the 3 as well, creating perhaps a 3.5r (renaissance) as the next "pure 3". Combined, about 7500 pair or 'pure 3s' were sold. We know some of them survive on this forum and my "new" pair in the studio. How many do you think are out there?
Although the Thiel subs are great, I decided not to go this route as Rob warned me that he can't service these build in amps. When they malfunction, you are stuck.
