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!

@jafant thanks for the warm welcome. Glad I finally discovered this group. Four years ago I lucked out on a beautiful pair of 3.7 for sale in Toronto (within driving distance) with outriggers.

I love the transparency of these speakers but I am at odds with the slightly lean bass (my room seems to suck out the mid-bass) so I am constantly trying different speaker cables because I do not have any EQ. I listen to a lot of jazz and blues-rock.  If I only listened to acoustic guitar I feel like there would be no problem 😉

Hans Beekhuyzen found the Gaias to work wonders, with sound scientific reason, but I already find the speakers dead accurate and not willing to lose any more bass!

Have you considered analyzing your room with an RTA and treating it?  Audio Tools (by Studio Six Digital) is an inexpensive App and Parts Expresss sells the Dayton Audio IMM-6 mic (with a calibration file for the individual mic which one downloads after they get the mic) for under $20.

@dr3 What amp are you using to drive your 3.7s ?

It is indeed pretty difficult to get good bass with 3.7s if your amp doesn't deliver enough current.

A good pair of high current monoblocks is usually what works best.

Nice catch! I hope those CS 1.6 speakers find a good home.

 

Happy Listening!
