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!

And it may interest you that Dave was Thiel's national sales manager from the late 80s to 90s. He moved his family to Lexington to help Thiel navigate their rapid growth into compatible and excellent dealers that he knew from ARC and Magnepan. He eventually went back home to ARC, and everyone was better for the experience.

Cool history regarding Dave Gordon! I’m an A-hole: my favorite electronics are Ayre, Aesthetix, and ARC.

Add Brinkman to that list and you have zero feedback designs that work BEST with TRUE time and phase correct speakers like Thiel and Vandersteen.  Many speakers will claim they are like Wilson, but only the adjustable Wilson's are time correct, but are in no way phase correct as they claim.

yesterday's HiFi Chats via YouTube featured Dave Gordon of ARC.
Fast forward to around 30:15 where Dave said "not all USB cables sound the same".  I am sure a lot of people will have issues with that :-)
