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!

@jafant I've found that an old pair of simple AudioQuest (I think 4) cables sound the best on the 2.7 and DHLabs Q-10 sounds best on the 3.6.  The rooms are also quite different.  The 2.7 better damped and the 3.6 a little bit more live due to hard surfaces.

Another note on the ARC CD6 test.  I didn't mess with speaker cables at all during that test - only interconnects.  Thiel/Krell has never been known for soft/weak/wooly/uncontrolled bass so I didn't think to mess with the speaker cables.  If I get the chance to test another ARC spinner I'll mess with speaker cables as well.

@tomthiel I've been looking for a pair of the Goertz cables to try however none have popped up locally.


@tomthiel I have a pair of the Straightwire Maestro speaker cables.  Haven't had them in the system in a while and will give them a spin this weekend.
solobone - I'm interested in your comparative evaluation against whatever else you use, as well as the Maestro rank in SW's line-up.
@jafant i Actually have Ted of synergistic audio on my friends list. Love his posts on his car hobby and the videos he posts of the production facility. Unfortunately you don’t get a discount for being his friend. LOL
jafant,

Please continue to keep us up-to-date on your cable search. I have to admit that I have not had much luck with Synergistic Research for interconnects or USB cables in comparative demos I've done in my system. However, I know others who love SR wire in their systems, especially when using the more expensive SR offerings.
