Thanks! for the update- drrsutliff
I venture to say that at least 200 hours on break-in. You are well on your way! Keep me posted as you massage the new amp into your system.

A great day for America. Thank You , Veterans. |

Good to see you- wadav-
interesting query. I suspect that much would be dependent upon how many names were on the original patent? If the 1st order cross-over patent was under Jim Thiel only- I do not see any problem(s) once it expires , no one else comes forward to file another claim.
Since Rob Gillum still holds a residence at Thiel -Kentucky, I wonder if he has a hand or stake in those loudspeaker designs?

Nice points- is there a driver , like Seas or Scan Speak, that could substitute for Jim Thiel's models ?

at $4750- those CS 3.7 models were a steal. Happy Listening! |
Interesting indeed- unsound.

Nice score! prof-
you are going to be pleasantly surprised by the CS 2.7 as it is no slouch.
I look forward in reading about your impressions, thoughts and comparisons versus the CS 3.7 model. Happy Listening!

prof-
a room size of 20x20, minimum, is the starting point for owning the CS 3.7 speaker. It throws that size of a sound stage. I would label that kind of space large. The CS 2.7 comes into a room smaller in size or a medium space. The Joseph Audio Pearl model is more on-par w/ the CS 3.7 speaker. Both are very fine loudspeakers with the Pearl costing much more. Happy Listening!

Thanks! for sharing- prof.
I did enjoy the JA line of speakers. In similar fashion to Thiel both brands plays well (no pun) w/ tubed and solid state gear. Whichever your room dimensions, you will want to maximize the sound and presentation. Happy Listening!

I could not agree more. It would be interesting to see the design/innovation from JT in 2017. Happy Listening!

Hang in there -oblgny
I know that you will find the right combo (separates vs. integrated) again!
These are the factors that makes our hobby so much fun. Happy Listening!

Me as well, pops. Good to see you again.

Much Thanks! for the update and follow up- scarberian
good to read that Rob is in a position to assist your needs. Feel free to post a pic or two of the Model 4. Happy Listening!

Good to see you- prof,
I am in the process of working through a few pieces of gear. More to follow.

Good to see you- oblgny
Threshold amps still hold up well and provide plenty of current to drive most speakers. You have experienced much evolution in your gear over the years. Simaudio is receiving quite a buzz over their integrated amps.
Good to learn that the Neo 340i was enough juice for Thiel speakers.
I enjoy your comments and banter here. Happy Listening!

the Black stain is elegant as well. The CS 2.4 is a real bargain and sleeper of a loudspeaker. Have fun!

Good to see you guys enjoying the exchange of ideas, banter and celebrating of our beloved loudspeakers. Like so many here in these forums, I enjoy Conrad Johnson gear, as well. Keep up the friendly fire.

what other gear including cabling is in your system?

A very good report on the CS 2.7- prof.
Both CS 2.7 and 3.7 can go without the outriggers per the listener. I look forward in reading about more thoughts / impressions as you massage these speakers into your system. Happy Listening! |
I was thinking back to the times I auditioned the CS 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7 and 3.7 models. Ultimately, I chose the 2.4SE. I must say that it was a close race between the 2.4SE and 2.7. To my ears, the 2.4SE won out based upon the facts of cabinet, cross-over, binding posts and included outriggers (necessary w/ the CS 1.6, 1.7 2.4 and 2.4SE).
The CS 2.7 offers the best in JT last designs. These are getting harder to find in the used/demo markets. It would be interesting to learn about the number of pairs built? I concur, the Ebony finish is special.

masi61 Welcome! back. I was thinking about plugging your power amp into the wall outlet instead of the BIT-15 conditioner. Report back if you hear/perceive a difference in the Bass output. Take time to read through this thread as there are several 3.6 fans and members of the Panel.
Happy Listening! |
