Thiel Owners

i can attest to the CS 2.4 model. This loudspeaker will give you the same attributes as the 1.6 plus Bass extension desired without a subwoofer. The CS 2.4 provides the listener accurate, taut, Bass via the Passive Radiator. You can enjoy every genre of Music. It is a Honey of a speaker. Easy to drive as well.

What other gear is in your system?

Happy Listening!

I cannot comment on the CS6. Stay tuned until one of the Panel experts chimes in to address your query.

Many moons ago, I owned the 2.3s.  My friend also worked at the high end shop and for about a 6 year period, I did virtually all of his deliveries and set-ups with him, including many pairs of Thiels.  

I had decided to upgrade the 2.3s.  The store where my friend worked had limited floor space and they just had the 7.2s.  So on an out-of-town business trip to Northern California, I stopped at a Thiel dealer who carried all the models and they were very gracious and let me listen to all of them.  I spent most of the time with the 6s and 7.2s (I had set-up and delivered many pairs of 2.3s).  I decided on the 7.2s.

When th 2.4s cames out, I delivered a bunch of those.  Personally (and much of course depends on your room, listening preferences and electronics), I'd go for the 2.4s vs. the 6s.  Yes it (the 6s) is older technology.  If someone listened almost exclusively to classical, depending on the other factors, it might be something to consider.

It depends on the level of committment you are willing to invest. 

CS 2.4 are easier to set up and less finicky with electronics. Not that they dont benefit from demoing numerous amps and front end,  just not as critical as CS6.

Top to bottom it's a well balanced speaker and at its price point it's a steal.

CS6 takes more effort to properly set up. Getting the correct balance with electronics can be laborious if you dont enjoy the journey of doing so. 

Once dialed in with the right electronics the CS 2.4 are outclassed.

The CS6 produce a bass punch much larger than their weight class. 

It will take a considerable investment compared to the CS 2.4 to glean the best out of them. 

Thats my .02 whatever weight that may have.
