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!

"The vertical bi-amp will not work with the Thiel CS3.7 since it only has 1 set of speaker inputs."
Check out bettlemania's system on the virtual systems ,
he bi-wired his 2.4's .
Yes it's very easy to do, "if" the owner or a friend has a little knowledge.
Once again do not bridge into these CS3.7's, you'll gain loudness at the expense of sound quality and reliability.
This is stretching it, but bridging turns what was a good quality amp into a more powerfull P.A. amp. 

Cheers George

I find all the handwringing about whether a well designed solid state amp will drive the 3.7s surprising, given, as I've said, they were driven with aplomb, as loud as I could stand, by 140W of tubes (and even with a 14W integrated Eico amp).

But...we audiophiles gonna audiophile :-)

This new video From Ayre Acoustics and John Atkinson of Stereophile is just in time to explain why the CS3.7 won’t be liked by many amps, "especially bridged ones." And not only because it's closer to 2ohm rather than 4ohm

It’s got the discussed "equivalent peak dissipation resistance" (EPDR) which I mentioned a page back, which is the combination of -phase angle and resistance at a given frequency, in this CS3.7 case at 60hz where much power is needed.
