Thiel Owners

Hi all,

Might have the opportunity to pick up a pair of CS6s - incredibly excited to upgrade from the CS2s I got fifteen years ago.

I have a Hegel H360 (250 watts x 2 into 8 ohms, 420 w x 2 into 4 ohms). Is this sufficient to drive it well?

Welcome!  Good to see you here today. Nice score on those CS 6 loudspeakers.

Stay tuned until one of our CS 6 Panel experts chimes in to address your query.

What other gear and cabling is in your System? Musical tastes?

Happy Listening!

Thank You for taking time to address constant Cap/Resistor upgrade options. Cross Over (XO) talk as well. I hope that you are well this Winter day in the NE.

Happy Listening!

Thank you for the warm welcome!

Nothing special - bluejeans cable and then using airplay to play qobuz.

I've tried to keep things simple - particularly as I move fairly often.

I primarily listen to jazz and classical music (particularly solo piano - big Radu lupu fan), but some motown, stevie wonder, cuban music, etc.

I'm incredibly excited to upgrade from the CS2s I have to the next level of Thiels... hoping I can secure the CS6s - working out some shipping logistics.

@largeexpensiveboxes , for the CS 6's look for amplification capable of a minimum of 400 Watts into 2 Ohms. Depending on your room and desired listening levels more power could be beneficial. For most people in most rooms 800 Watts into 2 Ohms would be satisfactory. The important thing to look for in making a short list of potential amplification considerations is to consider power into the the actual load demands. The CS 6's impedance is much more demanding than the CS 2's. That 2 Ohm capability is key, from there system compatibility and personal sonic preferences can be used.
