Thiel Owners

jayant,

I appreciate that. at this point I really don't have a system but gear laying around.

Life has been very busy with multiple businesses and different houses in multiple states so setting up a system took a back seat. 

Staying on point with this thread I currently have Thiel CS 7.2 in cherry, CS 6 in Zebrawood, CS 2.4SE original in Bloodwood, CS 2.7 in piano white, and bringing up the rear CS 2.4 in maple with upgrade kit to convert if I choose. 

Pass XA 200.5, Pass X 600.5, and Krell FPB 450 Mcx round out the amps.

To show how far behind on the source,  I have disc spinning Wadia and Esoteric. 

Unsound, before you dismiss the multiamp option for the cs5i, I would be surprised if the impedance of each woofer would be lower then 3 ohm. In parallel the impedance of 3 woofers of course drops to the low level but if each woofer is powered separately, the need for high current amps disappear. The specs on the hypex ncore 252mp are easily available and have been confirmed by independent measurements. These opinions about multi amp vs Krell could be empirically tested if the goal is to improve the sound quality of the cs5i.

The ScanSpeak spec on those woofers and subwoofer is 4 ohms.

Very nice! Quite a speaker collection. Always good to see a fellow 2.4SE owner. What are the Serial Numbers (S/N) ?

Equally nice is to read about Disc spinners -Wadia and Esoteric.
Which models? There is no such thing as being "behind". Certain vintage gear still stands up very well in 2021.
I am a disc-spinner Owner for life !

Happy Listening!

2nd Note;

a pair of CS 2.7 loudspeakers  in Piano White are very rare. Nice score!

Happy Listening!
