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!

I spotted a few pairs of 3.5 loudspeakers over on U.S. Audiomart.

Additionally, there is a sweet looking pair of CS 7.2 loudspeakers in the Raleigh/Durham NC area.  Happy Listening!

There are many 3.5 owners and supporters here that may want to get in on the fun. I look forward in reading more about your Modding efforts.

Happy Listening!

Welcome! Good to see you here. There are many owners of the 3.5 loudspeakers within this thread. I look forward in reading more about you and your system.  Happy Listening!
Excellent discussion and an exchange of ideas moving the 3.5 into 2020 and beyond.  The addition of subwoofer(s) seems a logical progression given that critical parts for the older EQ might not be readily available.I can remember  1985, a long time ago, indeed.
Happy Listening!

I, too, use a Richard Gray conditioner (Pro400). I can hardly await to use it in an Audio manner. Since purchase, I have used it in a Video manner to excellent effect. These are excellent products that really elevate an Audio system to the next level w/o degrading presentation and sound.


Happy Listening!

As always, good to see you again. Hope 2019 is shaping up better for your situation. I can hardly await for you to return to the Audio driver's seat.  Happy Listening!

bellesfan,
Excellent! Good to read that Acoustic Zen (AZ) and DH Labs are a sonic match w/ Thiel loudspeakers. The Shanling is a fine spinner as well.Is this company still in business?Your ears do not deceive. A Pre-Amp, is the heart of any Audio system.Yes, an Integrated amp counts as well.
Happy Listening!

Good to have you back and in better health. I concur, music is a natural healer in many aspects. Happy Listening!

It is a blessing to have good health and hearing above the median age of 76. Enjoy your (2) systems as another birthday approaches.
We Audiophiles could never own too many CDs...or SACDs.

Happy Listening!

A very nice contribution and jester on behalf of Jim, Tom.

Did you guys attend the Munich Show?  Happy Listening!

Excellent! follow-up. The CODA integrated looks sweet. I do  not have a local dealer/retailer, otherwise, I would have test-driven against the AYRE.

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the report. It appears that you enjoyed all of the Audio wares and gear- this is not a bad thing. I would be interested in auditioning Vitus Audio someday. I, too, have heard the Vandersteen 7 Mk II w/ accompanying reference subwoofers. Thiel soul is certainly there.  Good to read that you returned home to a pair of CS 3.6 loudspeakers.  Happy Listening!

Which Thiel speakers do you currently own? Are you still running an ARC Ref3 pre-amp and Raysonic cd player? Cables/cords?
Happy Listening!

Nice catch! Hope those sweet SE loudspeakers find a good home.

Thank You for posting this blast from the past. Did Rolling Stone not print a follow-up article? Results?

Happy Listening!

Yes- bighempin found his CS 3.7 loudspeakers in Denver and will post the details of his trek here very soon. Hope you are well and geared up for Summer. Happy Listening!

Welcome!  it has been a few years ago, I do recall owners of Thiel Audio speakers mating with Jolida gear. As your time allows search here and over on Audio Asylum/AVS Forum.

What other gear including cabling is in your system?Happy Listening!

Good to see you as always. Thank You for the follow up as well.Happy Listening!

My pleasure assisting you. JM Labs/Focal are fine speakers indeed.
If you enjoy the house sound, seek out a pair of 928 or 936 models.Those are classic loudspeakers.

Can you audition the Jolida and CS 1.5 prior to purchase?Happy Listening!
Second Note;I would not rule out the CS 1.6 nor CS 1.7 loudspeaker should a pair become available.  Happy Listening!
cabinlife
Right On! I read that article as well. The CS 1.5 does show up often here as well as eBay and U.S. AudioMart.  Happy Listening!

Nice system! It is great to read about another Sony ES SCD-1 owner.

Enjoy it all in good health.  Happy Listening!

Welcome! Good to see you here. There are many who match Pass Labs and Thiel Audio with excellent results. I do believe that you are the first contributor whom owns a pair of X600 power amps. I can only imagine the authority and control.  What other gear including cabling rounds out your system?


Happy Listening!

Stay tuned for one of our CS5 and CS 7.2 experts chime in on your query. I know that we have (at least) one owner for each model cited. Good to see you again. Happy Listening!

Good to see you as always Brother. Hope you are well this Summer and enjoying re-visiting "The Good" Dr. John's catalog. I know that I am.


Happy Listening!

As your time allows, search CS5 and CS 7.2 loudspeakers, over on Audio Asylum for additional information. Quite a few Thiel Audio fans on that site as well.  Happy Listening!

jacksky


Good to see you again. Thank You for assisting Esprits4s' CS5 query.

I believe that we have another CS5 owner on the Panel.

Good to see you here. Hope your are well and enjoying Summer.

Glad the Magnepan 20.7 loudspeakers worked out. Your CS 2.4 s are sweet and worth keeping.


Happy Listening!
