Sorry but I don't for sure. I saw so many rooms and my venture this year was to hear speakers, and some turntables. And after so many room s and a couple weeks, certain details fade into the abyss of darkness AKA memory. But I do remember the speakers performance as the guy that was with me and I kinda used them as a reference to a few of the speakers we heard after that room. |
I didn't attend RMAF but found the following: "(Lexington, KY) September 18th, 2012 - THIEL Audio (www.thielaudio.com), winner of over 60 prestigious awards for loudspeaker design and performance since 1978, has announced that the world premier of the CS2.7 loudspeaker will take place at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF) 2012 in the Denver Marriott Tech Center October 12-14. The CS2.7 will be demonstrated in two suites-Denver Audio Designs (Suite 9013) in tandem with THIEL's SS2.2 SmartSub® and HEGEL Music Systems press-only suite 8004. HEGEL's public suite (8006) will feature THIEL's flagship CS3.7 loudspeakers. THIEL's Gary Dayton will be onsite answering questions about the new products throughout the show." |
Thx Rgd. It looks like the 3.7 was demoed with Hegel. I found Stereophile's commentary on the 2.7 here: http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiels-new-cs27 It looks like the ancillary equipment was: The CS2.7s were demmed with Aragon Iridium 400W monoblocks ($7998/pair), an Aragon Sound Stage digital preamp ($4499), an Arcam CD37 SACD/CD player ($2299), an Arcam FMJ D33 D/A processor, and Straight Wire Expressivo interconnects and speaker cables, and Straight Wire Blue Thunder AC cords. The sound of Ryan Adams Dirty Rain had extended lows, grain-free highs, and superbly stable, well-defined stereo imaging. |
