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!

Unsound - later today (or tomorrow) I hope to directly compare some wire of interest to you.
• Original OCOS / double runs• Straightwire Octave II which Steven Hill recommended as their best bang for buck cable• Morrow SP-4 copper / double runs
I have been using the Morrow and Straightwire, so I have a baseline for the OCOS.

Pops - I don't have their Zobels. These OCOS cables have been with me since about 1990 when Thiel Audio "upgraded" to more something better. I believe it was Straightwire coax prototypes with similar geometry but better wire and dielectrics. I don't know whether SW still makes such cables. Over the years, using these OCOS in many situations, with many amps and speakers, they seem to stay neutral however they're used. Coax cable claims such characteristics. I have double pairs, but have had to hotrod the termination plugs with hard-wired ends. The ends break tabs, etc. and Sumiko no longer services them.
