Thiel Owners

jafant,

Well I'm game. I'm willing to take the SE to where Tom believes it can go. Outboards, internal wiring, top level caps and resistors, binding posts, internal cabinet mods if needed. If there was a way to eliminate the binding posts I would go that route.

Maybe a pigtail coming out of the 2.4 SE and hardwired/soldered into outboard. I'd desolder it if I need to move in future. Those brass binding post add a lot of harshness. Giving up the convenience of binding post to have a more purist approach by eliminating them is worth it to me and you get a sonic upgrade that costs nothing. 

I've got some GR Electra Tube Connectors coming. Seems like the best I've seen.

Tom,

At first look I thought they where a brass cylinder. then realized they were copper I watched the video. This would seem a much better option than any binding post out there. 

On 2.4 (SE) you would need 3 per speaker for each driver. 

If members here have never listened to a speaker without binding post and wired directly they will be surprised. 

Now you have me thinking from  output of amp to input of outboard xover doing the same thing which would eliminate amp binding post and input of crossover. It would also eliminate speaker cable spades/banana connections. 

Your thoughts Tom?

Outstanding! I look forward to your passion and support for model CS 2.4SE.

Additionally, I would like to pick up a pair of CS 2.7 speakers. The 3.7 is too large for my space.  Great to have you on The Panel!

Happy Listening!

As always, your impressions and thoughts on CS 2.4SE read correct. I will check back to the beginning of XO upgrades per beetlemania ‘s contributions.  There are a few other Panel members who modded their 2.4 speakers as well.

Happy Listening!
