Thiel CS2


I just recieved a pair of Thiel CS2 speakers for a VERY good price and was looking for information, opinions, and comments on these speakers as I am not familiar with Thiel at all. Anyone with experience that would like to share would be appreciated.

The VERY good price you mention is something that you'll find unbelievable soon enough. Thiels are truly excellent speakers, especially on the used market where the fraction of their original cost lets us mortals enjoy them. 

Your model is easy to drive, meaning you don't need an uber amp to see what they can do. I'm up to 3.6 now. 

I hasten to to add that these speakers are remarkably "colorless", musical in the sense that they don't impart much to the sonics. They just sound right.  If you're into bass response they might first strike you as a bit lean in that respect, but after additional listening you'll find that the bass is more "true" than emphasized.  

I started with your model.  I've had 3 pairs of 3.5's, one each of 2.2 and 2.3, most recently, currently 3.6.  They're all fine.
