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!

Welcome! Nice score on those CS 1.2 speakers. Good to see you here. Stay tuned until one of the Panel's 1.2 experts chimes in to address your query.

What other gear is in your System?

 

Happy Listening!

vair68: Thanks for the link! I will probably be grabbing all mills or vishay mills with the corresponding values to the original, but if I cant get them that link will really help!!

dimitrig - smells fishy.

The CS1.2 is a moderately sensitive speaker. It should not be unusually loud. Bass shouldn’t be weak. Nor should it muffle voices - spoken voice is a good tell-tale for troubles because we hear it so well..

I suggest looking behind the woofers for obvious damage (melted parts) on the XO; or loose wires at the xo or drivers. A woofer might have a loose coil. Listen to each speaker independently to see if they sound different.

The 1.2 is the 4th generation of the model 1 (4,04a, CS1, CS1.2.) These speakers are worth troubleshooting - and fixing. Check out some reviews online. Rob Gillum at Coherent Source Service can supply help and solutions.

Hi Tom,

Did you decide against buying the 7.2's on usaudiomart? I just noticed that they are still for sale.
