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 - Problematic rooms and PowerPoint 1.2s seem to be made for each other.
Beetle and Rob - I got an answer from RG that all pre-sale (2013) CS2.7s were made in Lexington, with PtP, parts like Rob's, etc. but with standard 18 solid twist hookup wire. We think this pair was a trial at New Thiel and we're investigating whether any parts values were changed to accommodate the different wire configuration.

Looks like at least one 25W resistor on each board. That 2 Ohm on the coax board could be replaced with parallel 4 ohm Mills MRA-12s. That would yield a 24W rating. Close enough, I think. The CS2.4 has a 30 ohm resistor on its coax board. Tom had me use parallel 60 ohm for more surface area and improved thermal management. I bought mine from Sonic Craft. Had to mix and match from the older Mills and newer Vishay Mills to get the proper values at each position. Mine are all 12W versions, OEM sandcasts were 10W, so I gained a spot of headroom.
