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!

I can't remember where I got this information, but I seem to recall that Thiel speakers were designed with the grills in mind.   That is, they are voiced with the grill on and thus ideally should be used that way.Is that correct?

I've never actually taken the grills off my 2.7s to try them that way - one reason being I don't like seeing speaker drivers (I find it distracting when I know exactly where the sound is coming from).

Wes Phillips (RIP) wrote for Stereophile about this very subject back in the 1990's. I cannot recall if any TAS writer(s) mentioned grills on vs grills off? My ears did not discern any difference.

Happy Listening!
