Well this is a pretty old thread that I have read before. I actually like hearing negative comments about speakers. I get pretty tired of hearing how great speakers are... I find most are only ok and some are down right bad.
I have never heard the 2.3 but they measure like total junk and can't possibly sound good. I do own a pair of CS2.4 and think they are outstanding with their only real flaw being they make vocals sound a touch thin and they can be a little bright in the wrong room/system.
Below are a few graphs.
I do not agree with stereophile measurement methods (to much fudge) but sometimes it is all we have.CS2.3
CS2.4
Magico V2 for reference
