Thiel Owners


Guys-

I just scored a sweet pair of CS 2.4SE loudspeakers. Anyone else currently or previously owned this model?
Owners of the CS 2.4 or CS 2.7 are free to chime in as well. Thiel are excellent w/ both tubed or solid-state gear!

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Good to see you again- rcprince
are you still using the CS3 speaker in your system?

Thanks! for posting jon_5912
Any speaker that requires bi/tri-wiring would not interest me either.
JT was very wise in his approach to loudspeaker building.

Thank You- beetlemania 
for your diligent work regarding updating/upgrading the caps in our speakers. Keep up the excellent research.

I look forward in reading more about your speaker project/experiment as well. I think that we have found our project mangers between you and beetlemania. I wish I had the skill to DIY my speakers in the same fashion as you guys. Keep up the excellent work!
Happy Listening!
Much Thanks! Larry

good to read about another Industry Professional joining this group. Your experience as a dealer/retailer and Sales Manager for Thiel matters!
We can all learn and benefit from you. Not boring at all, glad you found us and welcome aboard!

Guys-
check out the thread by our very own ranchhand1.
Talking about speakers I wished I had purchased, for me, I feel that Thiel captures the best attributes of an Apogee Slant 8, Infinity Crescendo and B&W 805N. Back in those days, a good friend owned the Apogee but would never sell them to me. Eventually, I did own the 805N, not bad for a monitor.

Outstanding! work- beetlemania

Keep up the excellent focus on your project. Hoping that you efforts are a success.

Another shout-out to tomthiel

keep up your excellent work as well. Hope your project(s) are a screaming success too!

Good to see you- corvette01

are you using the CS 1.6 in your main system? A surround set-up or office system?

Happy Listening!

Good to see you- robinbarbour

you own (2) excellent pairs of speakers. Do you have them in 1 room ? Separate rooms?

Happy Listening!

Very nice- corvette01


I would think that the models CS 1.5 and CS 1.6 make for surround speakers. Reportedly, the CS 1.7 was refined enough to stand up in a basic 2-channel system (subwoofer optional).

Guys-

I spotted a pair of CS 3.7 loudspeakers over on U.S. Audio Mart. Chicago IL area. Hope they find a good home.

Happy Listening!

Good to see you- prof

I know the CS 3.7 will find another good home. When are you going to place your pair for sale?

Guys-

Good to see you again. Your ears do not deceive- Wilson Audio loudspeakers do exhibit a slight coloration. This is not a bad thing, IMO.
Thiel or Wilson, either way, one cannot go wrong. It is a matter of pesonal preference.


I will second those early Black Sabbath albums.

Hope you are well this Spring.

Happy Listening!

Excellent suggestion - ronkent
a REL subwoofer makes a nice addition to any system. Good to learn that it can compliment the CS 2.7 loudspeaker.

nice points/counter points on loudspeaker ranking. We all hear characteristics differently.

Thank You for your continued guidance and support here.
In relation to the Power Plane models, what was Jim's application/intention for these speakers?

Happy Listening!

Thank You for posting those links. Very cool sound bytes.
Hope you are well this Spring.

When I was auditioning Thiel speakers, the only cabling brand that I heard was, Audioquest. I do not believe that I have ever read about a brand that did not jive well w/ Thiel? I will add that due to these speakers' high resolution capability, cabling with Silver, could present an issue.

A very interesting combination - corvette01

good to read that your new sub integrates well w/ the CS 3.7 loudspeakers.
Keep us posted as you massage the SuperSub into your system/room.

Very nice - arvincastro

The Beatles USB boxed set has turned into a very sound (no pun) investment.
