Thiel Owners

New member .... just found this post, Owned 2.4's in Morado finish. driven by a Krell KAV-400xi with Nordost Red Dawn II. All from about the early 2000's. I have always enjoyed the music that this combination produces 

Hi All,

I mentioned earlier that I managed to get a hold of two mono block Ampzilla 2000’s to power my CS6’s. I read a few places that both Thiel and James Bongiorno liked the pairing. So far I am not. 
Vocals seem buried in the mix, upper and mid-bass seems wooly. And there seems to be a hollow forward leaning to the 2khz-10kHz range. 
The amps do provide a rich midrange texturing and throw a larger image than previous amps.
What can I do? What amps totally work with the CS6’s? So I need a better speaker cable? 
The left speaker which has received some damage over the years—both drivers—constantly lights up the peak light on the corresponding amp. 
The one amp in my collection I have yet to try with the CS6’s is my refurbished Carver Signature 600. Should I give it a shot?

Suggestions are appreciated!

beetlemania,

I have SN# 005/006 so third pair ever built. 

I have used a McCormack DNA 500 with my pair of CS6 and have been completely satisfied. 

Brettmcee. If you don't have a way to take measurements, send your speakers a mono signal and compare your left and right channel. Make sure they get the same source signal strength. Listen carefully if you can detect any differences between left and right channel. If there is a difference, determine the cause.
