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 sharing these pics! Do you have Serial Numbers (S/N) 293/94 ?

Or, 294/95?

 

Happy Listening!

Here are the boards for speaker 293, these crossover seem to be built somewhat better than the crossovers in speaker 294

Thank You for the S/N confirmation.  Did the prior owner talk anything about "Modding" these loudspeakers?

 

Happy Listening!

Jafant, the previous owner did not mention any modding. It looks like one resistors leads is touching the larger coil in the high mid crossover in speaker 294, I feel like I should be able to notice it, music sounds very even between both speakers, I am wondering if I should do some frequency sweeps with them and record how the are performing. I would like to hear another set of 2.4s so I could compare them. Part of me feels like selling them; I don’t how much would someone pay for them knowing they are modded. They do sound very nice compared to my cs1.6, and have already won me over with the full sound and extra bass. I am wondering if some of the sweetness and extension I noticed in the 1.6 was due these 2.4 being modded or the perhaps it just how the different drivers sound. I was already planning to do something like the SE upgrades so part of me wants to just build new crossovers, I am a novice at soldering so these will be a challenge, not sure if the coils can be pulled off since they look glued or if many of the other parts are in good enough shape to reuse, it seems like it could get pricey
