Very nice! oblgny
Under the older system, I know that there were (3) levels of representation
(Reference, Reference XL & OPUS). The meaning is that under the "reference" level, the dealer/retailer did not carry the "reference xl nor opus".
At "reference xl" no Opus cabling. Finally, the OPUS level offered every cable/cord down to the Link 100. Enjoy the visit.
Happy Listening!

oblgny-
how did your visit to Audio Den work out?
|
Good to see you- thieliste
I wonder how many, if any, full CH Precision system(s) are here in the U.S.A. ?
|
|
TY- thieliste
no that CH Precision is crossed off of your list, what is next?
Happy Listening!
|
I wish I could join you in all of that fun!
Happy Listening!

On the other side of this coin, a Conrad Johnson Gat or ART3 would fit the bill very nicely!
Happy Listening!

Absolutely! reubent
good to see you again. Keep us posted on your H/T project and upon completion, post pics here in Virtual Systems.
What gear is in your 2-channel set-up? What gear is going into your H/T system?

Very nice! reubent
I was in Dallas TX a few years ago at Audio Concepts, when, the newest Rega Saturn-R cd player/dac as introduced. Most important, what cabling are you using?
|
|
Nice catch! saffron_boots
I have had a few interactions w/ dweller over the years. Good to see you again. Happy Listening!
|
It would be of interest to learn precisely the number of pairs built.
|
Go for it! marqmike.
Happy Listening! |
As per dweller- he owns #191 & 192 loudspeakers. Happy Listening! |
Good to see you- marqmike,
I would not worry about the serial #'s. dweller is an honest seller, besides, it would be quite a task to alter those plates on the back of these speakers.
The plaques are laser etched, very profesional per Jim Thiel.
This does raise the question about the exact number of pairs built?
I wonder if Rob at Thiel in Kentucky knows the answer to this query?
At any rate, keep me posted and Happy Listening!
|
Excellent! thieliste
enjoy your travels and listen to some good gear for me. Good to see you again.
Happy Listening!
|
Good points- saffron_boots,
I do not have a COA either. Were those issued w/ these speakers?
I do have the complete (box and all paperwork) outriggers precisely like the pic featured in the ad. Again, these are absolute gorgeous loudspeakers at an excellent price and value- Go For It! |
|
Sidenote:
I did ask and invite the seller- dweller- to join in here on this thread and post his thoughts and listening impressions on the CS 2.4SE speakers.
I would like to learn more about the gear and cabling in his current system. |
|
Right On! oblgny
Happy Listening!

You sold the Pass Labs- oblgny?
|
I had to take a moment and compose myself- William.
I cannot believe that you sold all of that gear?
I will say that Simaudio would be a close second to Pass Labs in solid-state gear at this juncture. If those Wilson speakers were a floorstander, it was the Sabrina model. Otherwise, it was the monitor model.
|
Which Transparent cabling will you use w/ the Simaudio?
|
|
Good to see you- fourwnds
the CS 2.4 was the starting point for me as well. It simply cannot be beat (no pun) for a used/demo price. Happy Listening!
|
Threshold is still very much relevant. These are killer SS power amps that sound incredible. Happy Listening!
|
Good to see you- ronkent
Always good to read about you guys using a more modern speaker- CS 2.7- what cabling is in your system?
Happy Listening! |
Welcome! usabod1
I have read about Rogue Audio being a sonic match for Thiel speakers. The M-180 amps are supposed to really make the CS 2.4 or CS 2.7 open up and sing! Which cabling are you using ?
Happy Listening! |
Keep me posted - William.

Thanks! for sharing- William.

prof-
we (audiophiles) do not discuss cabling enough, IMO.
Happy Listening!

Good to see you- jcatral14
I have been reading about Wadia owners not being able to get parts/service for their spinners? This is unacceptable, IMO. Hope the company goes under soon.
While, I have not spent time w/ Sabrina, I did spend much time w/ the Sophia/Sasha models. Nice speakers that plays well (no pun) w/ tubed and ss gear. Look at the price one must spend, then, one must nail -down the correct gear and cabling (Transparent is the best).
I still preferred the CS 2.4, 2.4SE. 2.7 or 3.7 in Thiel over the Wilson.
Reading over your system- you have an interesting mix of Cabling!
Happy Listening!

That works too! Jay

Thank You for sharing your DIY cable building project. Keep us posted on the finished product and massaging them into your system. Have fun!
Happy Listening!

Good to see you- michaeljbrown
I am certain that Bob in Dallas is very grateful that he bought your CS 2.4 loudspeakers! The 2.4 is the one model that started my love and passion for Thiel loudspeakers.
I concur, seek out another pair of CS 2.4 or better, the CS 2.4SE and you will once again be musically rewarded.
Happy Listening!
