Thiel Owners

sdl4 - The 2.2s are quite good, aren't they? And they're highly upgradable with better XO components and related goodies - when the time comes.

Regarding cable, I have rotated a dozen or so interconnects and speaker cables through my setup over the past couple years to reference my ears in my room and system. My favorite is Morrow. You might consider it, with their generous take-back trial deal.

Cabling wise I enjoy the AudioQuest I got which where 600 dollars. I feel they give the thiels a natural smooth timbre. At some point I will get synergistic audio cables though.

I believe in careful yet prudent calculations when building a reference system. I do not care to have cabling sourced to china in my system.
This has been quite an exercise because too many U.S. companies are cutting corners.  Nordost and Synergistic Research,  are noted for not sourcing to china, I have inquired each of these manufacturers.

Happy Listening!

Happy Listening!

If anyone else is interested, I found an old thread comparing the differences between the 2.3 and 2.4. In a nut shell, there are slight differences in the mids and uppers.  Not as big a difference as sdecker claims (2021). According to him its “not night and day” ,and “NOT big differences”(2003).  I’m thinking maybe his 2.3s didn’t have the upgraded coaxs, so with my 2.3s upgraded there should be even less of a difference.
