Thiel Owners

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.

Hello, to all here on this thread. I want to give a shout out to @Duramax747. Heed his advice; as it is without doubt some of the best posted here!

@unsound  Thank you - I confirmed with Hegel that they should have no issue driving them - they measured at 250 wpc at 8 ohms, 468 at 4 ohms, and 700+ (apparently) at 2 ohms, and they see no concerns. 

Sonically - i'm hopeful that they'll be a good match - very transparent as a component as well.
