Thiel Owners

I just saw a pair of cs7’s pop up for sale. I’ve always wanted a pair if cs7.2’s. How big of a difference is there between the cs7’s and the cs7.2? I currently own cs2.3’s. I’m assuming the cs7’s are a big step up from the cs2.3?

Pretty big. I’m getting bigger amps right now to prep for them...

When I had my 2.3s, I upgraded to 7.2s and then sold them and bought 3.7s.  This will give some indication of the differences between the 7s and 7.2s - http://www.soundstagenetwork.com/revequip/thiel_cs72.htm#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20primary%20differen...

I know that Thiel did offer upgrade kits for the 7s to make them into 7.2s.  Not sure if Coherent Source has those - would be a question for Rob.  Here's a thread about the upgrade kit (I'm sure there are other references) - .https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/upgrade-thiel-7-s-to-7-2-s

Thanks for the response, that pretty much answers my question. I think I will stick with my 2.3’s for now. I am currently running a Primaluna tube preamp through a Belles150 a hot rod. Was getting the urge to move up the Belles line of amplifiers to see what my system is capable of. Don’t get me wrong, the hot rod sounds amazing but you know how it goes. I had my sights set on the new virtuoso, when the Cs7’s popped up and got me thinking. I could probably buy the Cs7’s and a used amp for the same or less than the Virtuoso.  Was wondering what would be the bigger step up.

Welcome! Good to see you here. Equally, good to read that there is another fan of the CS 2.3 loudspeaker. Which cables/power cords are in your system?

Happy Listening!
