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!

Excellent points on 2ohm stability and the effect on Thiel loudspeakers.


Happy Listening!

jafant is clearly someone who works in mediation, conflict resolution, marriage counseling, or a college professor.  Or fears discord in his 150 page thread!  It's all good.

Makes me satisfied that Steve McCormack thoroughly modified his already-stable power amplifier to meet the needs of my CS2.3, now using the slightly easier load of 2.4s, and can confirm it has great specs into load in stock form, much better specs now as confirmed by the designer, and sounds great driving them to my own ears, as well as besting 5 other $5-15k modern amplifiers in a all-day shootout last year!  I wish this were so for all Thiel owners (not only those in this forum).

I’ve now twice mated an Ayre integrated with a Thiel. Been super happy both times. 
Interesting that being able to discern how an amp sounds from measurements is “objective”,  lol.

Laughing. Conflict resolution and counseling. Not a college professor.

No fear of dischord- there are several forums where one can flame others until the end of time. Mediation is helpful for the Soul.


It makes me wonder why Steve can rate/test his power amp down to 1 ohm, but, Conrad Johnson solid state power amp(s) does not?

Good to see you again.

Happy Listening!
