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!

So Tom the Thiel crossover board was screwed right to the cabinet floor? We had a Cs5 in the shop at Ovation because of a meltdown and saw the huge board out never took notice of how it was mounted..now over 20 years ago.

The CS5(&I) was the exception. It was too big for that. That huge xo board slid into a pair of grooves near the back of the cabinet, abutting a rubber bumper at the top. The cabinet base with a rubber bumper was screwed up against the bottom of the board. I think the long edges were just a light friction fit. Long ago indeed. 1988 introduction = 33 years ago.
And that crossover was like a small surfboard covered with components ..very complex it must have been. The other dealer in town
sold these and a pair of Adcom mono blocs..really when he should have had a Krell..To many wine tastings with the ladies I heard was the catalyst for the burn out. Tom
Probably more than a third of those components were time correction for each the upper and lower midrange drivers. Bucket brigade analog time delay to fine-tune the arrival time. Those ubiquitous yellow 1uF styrene film x tin foil caps were developed for the CS5 and persisted to the end in various forms.

Thank You for the R&D notes for the CS 2.2 loudspeaker.
In my opinion (IMO), the Passive Radiator is very special.

Happy Listening!
