| Thiel Owners This is a great deal - There will be no more made! Chances will now be few to own Jim's crowning achievement. I have the 2.7 since I could not pass up the deal I got on them and I already had the Smartsub. The 3.7 is still world class in my view a... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant,I have the cj MF5600 and some Kimber I'm not using. It's 5 channel but you can use only two if you are interested. No extra preamp though unless pre-pro. I don't see where I can message you solely....Keep it for a year if you want. | |
| Thiel Owners I have always been curious about Dunlavy and Duntech. Similar in sound to Thiel? | |
| Thiel Owners unsound,Clicked on your link and all I can say is WOW! Imagine the culmination of all Dan D'Agostino's work. Although I will never have the disposable income to purchase such a beauty - fully appreciated. Come to think of it, I probably will not e... | |

| Thiel Owners unsound - Very good discussion about the lower frequencies. There are proven, valid points there. I have two Smartsubs and even though there is wonderful adjustment for these, placement is still critical. Too close together and summed ouput was di... | |
| Thiel Owners Guys - just got an email from Rob Gillum in reply to an inquiry. Repair for coax in MCS1 is $250.00. I certainly don't feel this is a bad price. Shipping boxes/packaging for my CS2.7's however is $160.00.....Each!I figured I would get packaging in... | |
| Thiel Owners dlcockrum (Dave),Very impressive system! It's good to see someone who has gone through various changes and get their input. I struggle with what direction to go and it's always good to see another's experience and final conclusion. (Never reall... | |
| Thiel Owners I think the reason for active is to couple drivers directly to the amplifier and get rid of crossover components. Also a passive radiator shares same compartment with the woofer and is coupled together by the air pressure, so I don't think two act... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant,Reading the stereophile review of CS2.4 they listed : Preamplifiers: Ayre K-5xe, Conrad-Johnson ACT2, Viola Labs Cadenza.Power Amplifiers: Ayre V-5xe, Coda S5, Fisher 500-B, Cayin SA 50T, Moscode 401HR, Viola Labs Symphony.That might be a ... | |
| Thiel Owners How about CS7 and CS7.2? I would say full range... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant,I actually have these in 5.1 systems for both stereo and movies. I use a cj MF5600 in one and an NHT Power5 (B&O Icepower) in the other. Before anyone reading this scoffs at the NHT, they should listen - or read about it on the web.obli... | |
| Thiel Owners I have 2.2 model and now the 2.7. I can't bear to part with the 2.2's.I completely understand what oblgny sees in his 30 year old speakers. It is the same thing I see (hear) in the 2.2 version and why I will not let them go. The refinements over t... | |
| Thiel Owners Just going over the power requirements again....I have CS 2.7 and from ratings below if I looked for an amp putting out 400 watts into 8 Ω, it would double down to 800 at nominal 4 Ω and 1333 watts at the 2.4 Ω minimum?CS 2.7 Specs:Impedance 4... | |
| Thiel Owners UNSOUND - I have always been curious about these power ratings. Are they taking into account impedance at the higher rating? For instance with the CS 6 is the higher rating due to lower impedance swing? |
