Welcome!  good to see you here. Nice pairing on those CS 2.2 & CS 3.6 loudspeakers. Take time to read back to a few pages where Tom discussed this very matter.  What other gear and cabling is in your System? Musical tastes?

Happy Listening!

Today marks this thread's 9th Anniversary here on AudiogoN. Since inception, we are acquiring and attracting new Contributors and Members of the Panel. Most of you guys enjoy Jim's earlier or vintage models as well. A model for every Audiophile!
It was another banner year in 2024 as membership continues to grow. 
As for this New Year, I would like to direct everyone's attention to Tom's diligence and hard-work on all things Thiel Renaissance. This Endeavor will no doubt attract Audio insiders and press. Dealers and Retailers will be next in line. Stay Tuned.

Thank You! to The Panel for continuing to "make it happen" in 2025.

Happy Listening! 

When the time presents itself i will post link to site I have the big Thiels going throuigh a workout. 

I'll start with the CS 7.2 since they are in room with their new plinths. 

Next will be the CS5i as I still need to manufacture a plinth for them.

Followed by CS6 which I need to make a plinth for also. 

I'll get the CS 2.4 playing as well in "Jerry Seinfeld" silver. 

CS 2.7 in white are stunning.

For the larger Thiels I always preferred mono amps to keep the speaker cables as short as possible.  I use 36" speaker cables. 

I will say on paper there are many amps that can be used with the CS6. However, there are far fewer amps that drive them with authority.

Thiel used FerroTech APG L17 ferrofluid. I ordered direct from FerroTec.

I don't know exact measurements, but I fill tweeter roughly 2/3rds of the way. Then insert voice coil in and remove to ensure voice coils have full coverage of fluid.
