Thiel Owners

Thanks to Rob, I got my CS2.4 coax driver fixed.  After a month of waiting, I finally got the driver back today.

The CS 2.4 is easier to drive by far and easier to set up and impliment into your room. They are the sweet spot of the Thiel line up.

The CS5i need more attentiion to set up and require big power to drive with authority. They are big speakers. The bass is effortless regardless of how low you go. 

I have both and do not remember the last time I listened to the CS2.4.

What finish are your CS 2.4 and what amps are you using?

What finish are the CS5i near you that you can purchase?

Thanks for your insights! How does the top end compare?

I’ve been trying out different amps lately. Currently I’m using Bel Canto ref1000 monoblocks, but I’m considering replacing them as they sound just a tad thin when it comes to vocals. Beautiful instrument separation though.

My 2.4s are black, the 5is have a wood finish, the ad doesn’t say what wood.

Also, if you don’t mind me asking: what made you keep both speakers?
