What could have been - tomthiel ?
Thank You for sharing your Toyota/Lexus story. Frankly, I am glad that you guys recognized the risks and other unknown variables in that particular equation. Perhaps, the venture would have taken away the many wonderful aspects that did become of Thiel Audio? Yes, dealings with foreign countries, friendly or not, is a different animal compared to American industry. Very few politicians are aware of these pitfalls and danger.

I do recall Subaru/Macintosh pairing back in 2003. It was a one-off kind of deal for both companies. You are correct vair68robert in that the production run was very limited. The system does sound very good. I have often thought about the R&D that went into that particular model. Happy Listening! |

Good to see you -Larry. Happy Listening! |
Not shabby at all - beetlemania hope you are playing a few tunes today and enjoying the xo project. Happy Listening! |
tomthiel I spotted (2) Thiel SmartSub2 models on eBay. Just passing this information along to you. Hope you are well and enjoying this Spring season. Playing good music as well. Happy Listening! |

Good to see you - thieliste take your time and sample as many products as possible prior to any purchase. As luck would have it, there are a plethora of amps/integrated amps in the marketplace. Keep me posted as you audition the various brands. Happy Listening! |
You are certainly on the right track for top-tier integrated amps -thieliste
staying tuned as you sort and demo those contenders for your system.

Good to see you - ronkent PS Audio has ventured quite away these days w/ their amp/pre-amp and CD/SACD transport / DAC streamer offerings. Not to mention the various power conditioners and regenerators. Happy Listening! |
Looking forward in reading about your audition(s) - thieliste. Happy Listening! |
Right On! ronkent yes, PS Audio has certainly come around full circle w/ their current Audio offerings. Across several audio forums, the brand has gained a strong following. I am intrigued w/ the CD/SACD/DAC playback system. Very interesting developments from Paul. Happy Listening! |
Much Thanks! ronkentHappy Listening!

I will continue to keep my eyes peeled for ya - oblgny Happy Listening! |
Thanks! for sharing - ronkent I know your CS 2.7 speakers will find the next good home. Happy Listening! |
prof the REL sub is super easy to set-up and integrate into any speaker system. The older models hold up very well. Happy Listening! |
ronkent I am looking forward in reading about your observations, thoughts, impressions, regarding Magico loudspeakers. Take note of all gear and cabling involved with the demonstration. Have fun. Happy Listening! |
My pleasure - ronkent.I have only been in the Thiel game since 2012 (and what a sweet year it was indeed!). It is contributors like you, having been in the field since 1985 or longer, that ,makes this thread live and breathe. I think that we can all relate about having this musical love affair since our teens. Add to this fact all of the wonderful gear to make our speakers jump and shout.
Last, but certainly not in the least, we have been graced with the presence of Mr. Tom Thiel and Mr. Rob Gillum to ensure the Thiel bloodline stays stronger than ever.

Right On! tomthielI think that it is safe to say, this Panel, is behind you all of the way.
Looking forward in reading about your next research update. Hope that all of your knowledge and resources are working out well.Happy Listening!

Welcome! dancastagna
there is a plethora of good information in this thread. The CS 2.7 is an excellent loudspeaker. Feed it with the best sources and you will be musically rewarded. The highs are highly resolving, very clean and clear.Most will describe this attribute with acting bright and/or forward. Careful cable -matching is a must as well. Thiel speakers respond to both solid state and tubed gear, something for every Audiophile. Buying used or demo is the way to go! This is a great and fun hobby. You are well on your way.Happy Listening!
|
|
Thank You - ronkentfor speaking about your demo with the Magico system. I have often spoke about rising to that kind of level (Magico, Verity Audio or Joseph Audio Pearl)to possibly better the CS 3.7 loudspeaker. And yes, that is the $20-30K neighborhood for speakers alone. Good to read that you enjoyed yourself.Do you recall the cabling used?Happy Listening!
|
tomthielThank You for the update. Hope you are well and having fun testing, building cross-overs, guitars and speakers. I have personally lifted and carried models CS 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7, 3.7 during the many auditions at various dealers/retailers. In my mind, it is hard to believe that any of those cabinets are deemed "noisy"? Keep progressing forward in our hobby.
Happy Listening!

profgo for it! I have read about other Thiel owners using the Townsend speaker base(s) to good effect. Keep us posted on your efforts.

beetlemaniaThank You for posting the preliminary results of your efforts. Keep up the research and testing. Have fun while doing it as well.

ronkentI can offer my perspective on the outriggers query. During my initial then critical auditions of the CS 2.4 and CS 2.4SE loudspeakers, my ears found that the CS 2.4 can go without the outriggers (carpet over slab). The CS 2.4SE exhibited a subtle overall sweetness from top to bottom with the outriggers (carpet over slab). I did listen to both models over 100 hours each prior to making my decision about which speaker to purchase.I figure that coupling plays a factor regarding the CS 2.4SE. Perhaps Tom or Rob can share a little more insight?Happy Listening!
|
Thank You - tomthielyour description of coupling and resonance nails it down perfectly. I would like to think that Outriggers adds a bonus aspect on an already perfect loudspeaker design.
Happy Listening!
