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!

Speaking of internal speaker wiring, I am currently working on two pairs of speakers:

Infinity RS-II (above, c 1982) use 24 AWG stranded conductor throughout, from binding posts to drivers, often tightly bundled together

ProAc Point Five (above, c 2004) use Straight Wire-brand dual twisted-pair cable that looks like 10ish AWG.

It strikes me as two extremes. The Point Fives’ selection of drivers nowhere near calls for such plus-sized cabling. Inversely, the RS-II love gobs of current to reveal their best, probably straining the electrical limits of its long runs of doorbell wire...

Interestingly, both speakers use the same gauge wire for all drivers, which also seems counterintuitive.

My apologies for the off-topic-ish post, it’s just that ever since I started delving into these speakers I’ve been really intrigued by how radically different their internal wiring is.

[EDIT] I attempted to insert pics obviously, and they showed fine in Edit and Preview modes but got stripped from the post. No time to solve this mystery right now :)  My apologies

Good to see you here today.  Very interesting Speakers for internal wiring. Both Infinity and ProAc are classics.  I look forward in reading and seeing more. Consider starting a Virtual Systems page to upload photos.

 

Happy Listening!
