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!

Well he’s telling me to stick with the 5800 and that it’ll do fine and to save fore something more capable and of better quality 
thoft, I've matched the Forte' 3 with Thiel CS 2's a couple of times for different friends. A very nice match. But, the CS 2's are 6 Ohm nominal / 5 Ohm minimum load. I wouldn't match the Forte' with the 3.6's impedance load. Furthermore, there is some question as to whether or not there are still IGBT devices, used in some Forte's, available should they need service. Nelson designed the early Forte' stuff, the later Forte's were designed by Bladelius, et al.
 BTW, I seem to recall that the Palladium's quickly give up Class A bias when presented with sub 8 Ohm loads. Despite being optimistic when they where released, I remember being quite disappointed when auditioning them.
 
220 watts at 4 ohms litterally says approved for 2 ohm loads continuous on the amp. Even has speaker protection.
