I can second your assessment of the CS 2.7 vs. CS 3.7 models. Precisely reported. Room size/space should be the deciding factor.

I, too, am a fan of the older Audioquest cables as well as Transparent Audio. I am trying to line up an audition with the Gen5 Series- I used to own cabling in the MM2 series. The newest Audioquest cables/cords are very good although sourced in part to china. Happy Listening! |

Good to see you again. I hope your CS 2.4 speakers find the next home soon. Absolutely, a change in cable/power cord can make a significant difference. This fact cannot become discounted. There are quite a few here who enjoy the 3.6 model. Tom is working diligently on the upgrade path. Stay tuned.

Today marks this thread's 4th Anniversary here on Audiogon. Since inception, we are acquiring and attracting new contributors and members of the Panel. I continue to become impressed with each passing year as Thiel Audio is finding its audience via the secondary market. Support continues to fortify and strengthen from several avenues including other Audio -based forums. The word is out indeed.
Thank You- for everyone's Dedication and Passion towards the betterment of our Hobby.
Happy Listening! |
Much Thanks- All
Like you guys, I am simply a fan of the brand and music lover.
I am still leaning towards an Integrated amp with AYRE at the pole position. I am attempting to find an audition w/ Transparent Gen5 cabling as soon as possible.

Thank You for your point of view of the AX-5 Twenty. Last year during my auditions, the volume settings were 40-45 on amp read out. Plenty Loud from 8 to 10 feet away in a sweet acoustic space. I could not imagine pushing a setting over 50 from that amp.
There is an Audiophile in my area that has the MXR amps in his set up. Hopefully I can obtain a demo soon for comparison.

Laughing. Conflict resolution and counseling. Not a college professor. No fear of dischord- there are several forums where one can flame others until the end of time. Mediation is helpful for the Soul.
It makes me wonder why Steve can rate/test his power amp down to 1 ohm, but, Conrad Johnson solid state power amp(s) does not? Good to see you again. Happy Listening! |
sdecker
I have always wanted to audition a McCormack power amp to determine its sonic signature in comparison to Conrad Johnson. There are a few McCormack/Thiel fans and owners over on Audio Asylum.
Steve has really made a name for himself post CJ employment. Bill Thalmann has done the same, only, from a repair/service business.

Excellent points on 2ohm stability and the effect on Thiel loudspeakers.

CS 3.7 alert- check out the eBay listing for this loudspeaker in WA state. Bird's Eye maple finish. Hope they find the next good home soon.

Yes- I remember reading about the Mod Squad in magazines back then.
I had forgotten that aspect of Steve. Thank You for the audio history refresh.

Thank You for the clarification. I have considered a Plinius amp except for the fact that the specs report it does not double power from 8 into 4 ohms? 2 ohm not avail/tested.
Happy Listening! |
sdecker
Your assessment and evaluation of the Dynaudio is accurate.
Having heard a few of those models, as well as, Joseph Audio models (except Pearl series) and neither brand equals a Thiel CS 2.4 to CS 3.7 loudspeakers. Thank You for the report and perspective on the Plinius.

Thorough listening notes are always welcomed here.
This is the aspect that I miss the most reading current Audio press.

Nice score on the Ref5SE. A very fine pre-amp that I have heard several times. Mates well with solid state or tubed power amp(s).

Thank You for the history lesson on Bill and Ed Long. Peavey was a major player in the Pro-Audio world. Currently, I do not know if this company has the same reputation?

A nice piece over on Stereophile.com -

Thank You for sharing your history w/ Peavey. Equally, a very cool story involving Eddie Van Halen. I know that fans of the brothers Van Halen are grateful for your hard work. A world traveler indeed.
