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!

Great review - great reviewer.

I get the audio preference bit . I got a contact at Sony technical service whom I’ll query for specs. 
Thanks.

Excellent! Good to read that you have a contact at Sony. Perhaps your contact has a RM -  Remote Control for S9000es.

please ask about RM - Remote Control SX700.

This matches SCD 9000es Player.

 

Ultimately, you ears will find favor among those Filters. The Stereophile article even mentions 1 filter specifically for Classical Music. Very impressive.

 

Happy Listening!

The control match is confusing. The match for the S9000ES is a RMT-D122. Ebay, etc. says the D111 will work, but it doesn't work with an SACD player. Bill Thalmann is sending me his spare. Now, to find the remote for the SCD-1. Always something.

Right On! I am not a fan of aftermarket Remote Control. Give me OEM.

Please ask Bill if he has an extra RM SX700 (remote control). I will be more than happy to pay for it.

 

Happy Listening!

When I started upgrading the speakers I ran single wires from the 3 speakers , with the coaxial mid/tweeter wires + running together and the - running together separated thru the original holes in the coaxial chamber down the width of the back of the speaker behind the woofer and thru the original holes in the bracing that separates the woofer from where the crossovers are .  I kept this setup until my experimenting with the single speaker wiring showed me that while It seemed like I was hearing a more dynamic sound over time I discovered that there was a graininess to it after going back to using Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cables I decided to try twisting the internal wires  into +/- pairs like the the wiring in Thiel speakers (if you remember my speakers had 16awg wires constructed with +/- running together in parallel , one reason that I started the upgrading) , this resulted in a smoother sound .

Maybe the 3 wire single polarity twist will solve the graininess .  I look forward to your findings on this setup .
