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!

Thank You for the suggestion. I would have to demo the Gryphon prior to any purchase. Good to see you here.

Happy Listening!
@jafant  yes you should definitely audition the Diablo 300 before making any decision.The Gryphon will have much more grip on your 2.4SE than the Ayre integrated, just my 2 cents.
I'm going to demo the Gryphon Mephisto stereo by the end of this month, will keep you guys posted.

Looking forward in reading your report on the Gryphon.

Happy Listening!

I finally got around to trying to figure out what was going on with the ViewPoints I bought in March.  I had bought a replacement tweeter and installed it but it wasn't working right.  I took the speaker apart and played around trying to get it to work.  There was a signal at the tweeter terminals and at the plugs where it is installed.  After being mystified for a while I noticed that the new tweeter had the same problem the old one had - the wire that connects the voice coil to the plug was broken.  

Hmmmmm.  I played a 60hz test tone and measured the AC voltage at the woofer terminals and the tweeter terminals.  They both had exactly 2 volts.  I'm thinking this means that one of the capacitors or the resistor in the tweeter path is a full short.  Anybody have this experience?
