Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4


I have 3.5's and love the deep bass.
I am tempted though to go with a newer and more modern speaker.
Im seeing some good deals on the 2.3's and Im wondering how much of a difference there is between the 2.3's and 2.4's
I have heard the 2.4's at Thiel and they are an incredible speaker!
I have become a devoted Thiel fan so please no other speaker recommendations.
My main concern is losing the deep bass of the 3.5's.
I understand the 2.3's only go down to 36hz or so.
Thanks in advance!

Drubin,

If you have Thiel speakers then you would get the PX02. It is a passive crossover for two channel ($600.00). The PX05 is for five channel.

If you do not have Thiel speakers then you will need the Integrator (I believe $5,000.00).

David99,

I went to Ky in the fall and it was beautiful. I was scheduled to meet Sheri who had the CS7.2 set up for me with the Krell FPB 700cx. I was on a tight schedule and had to be in Bowling Green, Ky at the same time to pick up my other toy.
David99,

I did not read anywhere in your thread what sub Thiel had paired with the CS 2.4. Was it the SS2? I have talked to Sheri numerous times and she said it is seamless (no gaps) bass when paired with Thiel speakers. I have the CS 2.4 and the bass is deep and accurate, however I listen to chamber music and trance music which really puts the bass to the test. I would like to put one in my system and hear what it sounds like. Shari said it truely is an audiophile two channel sub.
You may want to save your pennies and wait for the unveiling of the CS 3.7. which is due out in 2005.
Maybe all us loyal Thiel users can get together for a pilgrimage to Lexington, KY for the debut of the CS 3.7. Since Cinematic-systems knows Thiel products so well he can be our spokesman and critique Jim Thiel on " How to design a speaker properly".
