Thiel Owners

@tomthiel Reading your post reminded me that I *did* compare with and without biwiring (via that Cardas jumper plate I later sent you). I preferred the sound of the biwire configuration but, yes, it was the binding posts and/or Cardas hookup wire that made the biggest sonic difference.

Biwire is a special case. There are theoretical and empirical advantages. I've gotten good results with internally-biwired cable (in the same jacket). Problems arise with separate runs that the speaker designer can't control. An individual can evaluate including their own preferences. Also, there are upsides to single-wiring including avaialbility of all the conductive cross-section for big transients. Etc. etc. etc. Wire is a maze as well as amazing. Tom

Thank You for your DIY hard work on making the CS 2.4/2.4SE loudspeaker, better.

Happy Listening!

Agreed, Wire IS amazing!   Happy Listening!

I have been considering buying a class-D amp for use with my Thiel CS3.6 and CS2 2. I have focused on the NAD M23 and Bel Canto REF501S amps. Does anybody have experience with these or other class D amps?

I am picking on these models because they advertise minimum impedances of 2 ohms.

Thanks
