I'm currently using thiel cs2.4. Any master can advise on how to upgrade to cs2.4se by changing its capacity? May i know the value and specs of the capacitors? What is the sound difference between cs2.4 vs dc2.4se? Tq
I have the 7.2 and 2.4 as well. The big Thiel's need room to breath compared to the 2.4. Also they need a monster amp. The big Krell and Pass Labs mate very well.
I believe my 7.2s were finished in White Oak. They were the original pair reviewed by TAS back in the day. I purchased the entire system from Mike Kuller (one of their reviewers). The set up was as synergistic as it could be but I just couldn't get them to sound balanced. Tried some heavy duty Krell monoblocks and a couple top shelf pre-amps but they still sounded lean. I ended up keeping some parts of his system (Manley NeoClassic maps, cables/interconnects and lots of room treatments). But the 7.2s were sold. Been listening exclusively to my Sound Labs since then. But these little 2.4s are delightful. And much easier to move around :)
Your ears do not deceive. The CS 2.4 is a real Honey of a loudspeaker. Sounds great with as little as 50w + 50w solid-state amp too! Delightful indeed.
I have the complete opposite experience with the 7.2. I never heard them described as lean. Mine produce check thumping bass. There are certain things I only play with them as evert other fails in bottom end compared to the 7.2.
I have a fairly large room 37'x60' with 10' ceilings which allows the 7.2 to clear its throat and open up and sing.
