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!

Good seeing all the tweek talk amongst many Thiel speaker design enthusiast. I happen to be also since purchasing a pair of CS2.4 in walnut finish close to 20 years ago now. They are still living up to the task of proving a very great listening. Take a peek at my virtual system . Wondering if anyone has an interest in buying a slightly used MCS1 pair or a SCS4 pair (both in black ash finish) like new condition and have spent 8 years still in factory boxes

All - it is likely that those serial numbers will have classic, Lexington built, point to point crossovers - which I consider superior to later Asian iterations. TMR would very likely verify my presumption of PtoP for you. The 2.4 is high on our list of upgrade attention.

I spent the last day wading through this entire thread. Happy to say I'm a new first time Thiel owner. I found a pair of cs2.3 for $450 and after a bit of research snatched them up. One tweeter was dented with a small puncture but I was able to pop it out and "patch" the hole with a very small very thin piece of nylon film until I can foot a rebuild. 

Unfortunately the serial numbers are extremely faded. I can't make out much at all but they appear to start with a 1. This doesn't really jive with the rest of the serial numbers I'm seeing online which appear to all range in the 4000's. Rob with Coherent Source told me the coax drivers were mainly manufactured in '99 and '00 but I popped one out and mine has a manufacture date of October '98. I likely have one of the earliest it seems. 

Does anyone have any info on what the serial number range might have been for the cs2.3's? I assumed they started at 4000 based on what I've seen but perhaps I'm wrong. 

Anyways, they sound fantastic. I'm thrilled with their sound.
