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!

Am a very satisfied and happy owner of Benchmark's LA4 Preamp and two AHB2 in bridged mono mode, driving the Thiel CS2.7 !

 

This matching gave me the cleanliness, quietness, transparency, musical detail, and 'right speed' of the music I listen to.

CS5 electrolytic crossover caps. Whoever spotted them was correct, despite the promo stating 'all film caps'. There a few, always shunts to common and always bypassed by the yellow 1uF styrene/ tin foil cap. There is also an iron core inductor in the subwoofer feed. I recall that layout space was the determining factor for that huge board. Outboarding that board would probably be required to allow upgrade of those electrolytics with film caps. Those speakers are 30 years old, nearing their hypothetical service life. None are in sensitive / dangerous positions.
