Oppinions on the Thiel 2.3's


Looking for feedback from people who have owned these beautiful speakers, including what your driving them with.

Also wondering if any Thiel experts out there know when Thiel started using the updated high/mid range driver that was supposed to tame the shrill highs of earlier releases?

Thanks.

I'd agree with the above (have had mine for about 4 years), but rather than shying away from the 2.3 due to the impending 2.4, I'd encourage you to stay on the lookout for real bargains because the price on used 2.3's is bound to drop even further. As far as I am concerned, picking up bargains by buying last-generation gear just on the backside of the curve is a no-brainer.

I'm currently driving mine with a Bryston 4b-st and a Rogue preamp, but I'm becoming more and more determined to switch out the Bryston for either a Plinius SA-100 or a Rowland Model 2. That said, I've got some new power cords on the way, and, with any luck, that will satiate my burning need to upgrade my amplification for the time being....
