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 - yes, we can read it. Thank you.

It's always sobering when a friend, or associate of any kind, vanishes. I feel fortunate that you re-introduced me to Bill 5 or so years ago. Bill and I knew each other as co-exhibitors at audio shows, but otherwise had no involvement. When you recommended him to upgrade my classic Classé gear it was a great fit. That led to Bill becoming part of the nascent Thiel Renaissance dream. Bill worked on the CS3-3.5 equalizer upgrade, specifically conversion to two separate mono fully balanced units powered by a single outboard power supply. Bill's declining health put that project way on his back burner and I'll be picking up the pieces on my next trip to Virginia.

Bill was a very special person on many fronts. Regarding audio, he would bring his accumulated big bag of special insight and experience to bear on whatever the project at hand. The results were always good. I am pleased to have his final Oppo 105 upgrade. It plays any/all disc formats in elegant form.

Parkinson's and all degenerative diseases seem especially cruel. Bill faced his journey with characteristic upbeat good will and good work. We'll miss him.

Has anyone disassembled a Thiel SS2 subwoofer?  I would like to troubleshoot the amplifier but not sure if I should remove the front screws and drivers or just try taking out the amp from the rear.

 

Please let me know.  Thanks
