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 had experimanted with parallel wires outside and inside of the speaker,
I then went back and twisted the wires .
To me the parrallel wires externally were a little better sounding ,
but internally I found the twisted wires to be smoother sounding .
I had first twisted just the woofers wiring which increased the definition 
of the lower frequencies , then I went back in and twisted the mid and
tweeter wiring which smoothed the topend harsness/grain .

The Sonoran Plateau wire looks very interesting and expensive .
Also the claim that when using their wire you should remove the insulation material sounds very unique . Plus drilling 4 large holes into the sealed upper chamber seems dangerous .

To expand on my statement of interesting and dangerous ,
I had expereimented with steel ballbearings after reading a short article in The Absolute Sound using steel shot in a box placed on a DAC .
So using boxes out of wood I tried it on my Carver amp and heard an improvement , I also tried it on my CD palyer and it showed that placement was improtant as  that over the power supply it showed a little but anywhere else created a slight degradation in sound .
I tried using the boxes on my McCormack amp and heard neither improvment or degradation .
So using wiring that incorporates steel balls might be an improvement or an expensive  disaster IMO .

So the sound of the 3.6 on the classe vs the adcom is so much better. Detailed and airy highs, bass is subterranean, and midrange is soooo much smoother. It no longer sounds harsh and congested. In comparison to the adcom.
