Thiel Owners

Thank You for advancing Gary Dayton at CSS as above. Let us all keep him gainfully employed in his new position and venture.

Happy Listening!

Hi Everyone,

A while since I checked in, but I do continue to read the posts here all the time.

My Thiel-related news is that I’ve recently expanded the herd from just my beloved CS3.5’s to a perfect pair of CS2.4’s that came up relatively locally, if one counts a 12 hour round trip to collect as local :-))

The 2.4’s have rocked my world since their arrival in early May. Quite how Thiel sold them for such an amazing price is hard to fathom. A speaker of this quality would likely retail for $15K+ these days, such is the ridiculous price hiking that many of today’s manufacturers seem to constantly indulge in. 

Like with the 3.5’s, I’m running the 2.4’s with a Marantz PM-10 integrated and I’m stunned with the results. The 3.5’s will still come out to play as part of a second music room I’m planning from this winter, but right now my whole stable of other speakers, including Quad 57s and Celestion Kingstons, is resting while I enjoy the 2.4’s. Literally a revelation every time I play something new.

Anyway I hope all are well here. I continue to monitor Tom’s developments with interest and would like to take this opportunity to wish Gary every success in the recent handing over of the reins from Rob. It’s wonderful to know that the invaluable resource of CSS will continue long into the future.

Good to see your return here.  Nice score on those CS 2.4 loudspeakers. Totally worth any round-trip drive!  Trust me.  Besides the Marantz PM-10 Integrated Amp, what other gear is in your set-up?

Happy Listening!

All - 

over at Fly Hifi there is a sweet pair of CS 3.6 Speakers (new-in-box) with matching factory Bass Equalizer.  Located in Auburn, CA. Rare find indeed.

I hope these loudspeakers find the next good home.

Happy Listening!

The 3.6 has passive radiator reflex bass, no equalizer.
