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!

After looking back to the beginning I only got thru 4 pages and found these

Reccommended as Thiel compatable .

I guess that I will try to look at Thiel owners of 2.7 and 3.7 speakers ,
since it seems that Cable compatabilty is dependent on the speaker model ( with the the amp powering ) .

Or you can get some cables that are confirmed as built to well known standards for audio signal transmission, and used by the pros, but which are sold for usually much less than those hawked in the audiophile world.

Examples like Canare, Belden (which are available for instance from BlueJeans cable).   If a speaker is not "compatible" with standard, competently, neutral-performance cable, then it's a defective design.

Fortunately Thiel speakers are well designed and don't need anything exotic to do their job.

I've used Beldon speaker cables for my Thiel 3.7 and 2.7 and it "just works."  That combo sounded better than most speakers I auditioned that were hooked up to gazillion-dollar cabling because the Thiel speakers are that well designed, and a competently designed "everyday" cable allows them to sing, rather than trying to find cables to act as tone controls.

Anyway...just another view for you to consider :-)....you'll get a lot more people suggesting you go about playing the "specialized cable lottery" and if you find that fun and have the pocket change for it, go wild!
(Back to our regular Thiel talk...)


Once more, I must agree with prof.
I had several speakers before ending up with a pair of 3.5s and then 2.7s.
I use BlueJeans Cables for my speakers, made from AWG 10 Belden stock, with superb terminal connections  - - spades and banana plugs. I've never been unhappy with using BlueJeans cables, both for the speakers and for interconnects. As a plus, saving money on esoteric cables has permitted me to upgrade my electronics and acquire additional CDs for my collection.  (Disclaimer: I do NOT have deep pockets, and disposable income has to be allocated to items that will make very clear and unmistakeable significant improvements in my listening environment. 

I love to listen to my music, from start to finish, and not be on the edge of my seat, listening for someone in the second violins to miss a beat. 

Just my thoughts, after having spent more time with this wonderful hobby than most.   My points of reference by which I judge my system are the Vienna Philharmonic in the Great hall of the Musikverein playing Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler and Strauss, plus the Orchestra and  Chorus of the La Scala in operas by Puccini and Verdi.  Over a period of twenty years,  I've been fortunate to hear (and see)  symphonic performances and operas in these venues.

Nice catch!  To my ears, Cabling, is the last frontier. Too many options, too little time to discover.  Have fun!

Happy Listening!
