Thiel Owners

Thank You Tom

I had no intention of trying these as you had advised me 
to just use better electronics on the cross-over board ,
( I had to ask out of curiousity )
this is the same advise that Mr. McCormack gave me when asked about upgrading my DNA-250 amp
( Which I have almost finished with great success ) .

Your assessment and evaluation of the Dynaudio is accurate. 
Having heard a few of those models, as well as, Joseph Audio models (except Pearl series) and neither brand equals a Thiel CS 2.4 to CS 3.7 loudspeakers. Thank You for the report and perspective on the Plinius.

Happy Listening!

You're welcome.  As long-winded about audio as I can get, be relieved (all of you!) I'm not transcribing my thorough listening notes here of all the gear mentioned on this forum that I've compared to other stuff, or pre- vs post-modifications, that a career test engineer tends to do!

Thorough listening notes are always welcomed here. 
This is the aspect that I miss the most reading current Audio press.

Happy Listening!

I was just re-visiting the old Stereophile review of the CS5.It sure did impress that magazine! JA had a room-based problem which didn’t work with the CS5s so LA took over the review and raved.

In the measurements section JA concluded:

"All in all, the CS5 is both the most thoroughly worked-out speaker design I have ever come across and perhaps the best-measuring loudspeaker I have yet experienced."

Which is about as strong a comment as I’ve ever seen from JA in the measurements section before or since.
