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!

Thank You for the Kentucky update. Good to read that the Adcom is working out.

I am looking forward in reading more about your impressions and thoughts.

Happy Listening!

The Adcom / Benchmark comparison was a response to trickeydude’s call for a good, inexpensive amp for Thiels. Plus, I have a personal interest in the journey of that GFA555 moniker from a Nelson Pass, simple, low parts count design to a different designer's complex, high parts count design. There’s a lot to learn there including the nature of the ’improvements’, what may have been sacrificed, and different solutions applied to that original amp.

At Jim Williams’ suggestion, I am exploring his solution of upgrading Nelson’s original design and comparing and contrasting outcomes between the three iterations, plus the AHB2 as reference. I'll keep you posted.
