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!

Welcome! Good to see you here. I know that there are a few owners of the SmartSub 2.2- stay tuned until your query is addressed.
I look forward in reading more about your musical tastes and system.

Good to see you. The CS 2.7 is rarely seen on the demo/used market indeed.  Hope you are having a good Summer.

Thank You for sharing your 1.5 story. We have a few fans and owners here on the Panel.  Prima Luna has come a long way since market introduction. Still a good value as well. What other gear is in your system?

a nice pair of CS7 over on U.S. Audiomart. Located in Pittsburgh, PA area.  Really beautiful finish. Hope these loudspeakers find the next good home.

I hope everyone's day was filled with Family, Friends and Good Music.

I have not thought about B&K for a long time now. Good to read that there are owners still enjoying these products.

Outstanding! I look forward to your passion and support for model CS 2.4SE.

Additionally, I would like to pick up a pair of CS 2.7 speakers. The 3.7 is too large for my space.  Great to have you on The Panel!

 

Happy Listening!

As always, your impressions and thoughts on CS 2.4SE read correct. I will check back to the beginning of XO upgrades per beetlemania ‘s contributions.  There are a few other Panel members who modded their 2.4 speakers as well.

Guys-
We are blessed with quit  few DIY members of the Panel here.Does any of you have an extra Amp stand or Maple butcher block not in use?
My AYRE AX-5 measures 17w X 18d X 3h inches. Weight: 40 lbs.

Happy Listening!
My Virtual Systems  profile is updated to reflect an AYRE AX-5 Integrated amp. The Black casing is quite elegant.

Good to see you again.  Man, that is quite a collection of Thiel Audio loudspeakers!
Now to your query-depending on your locale, start with Mr. Rob Gillum. He may know of certain buyers for each of your .7 models.  If not, U.S. Audiomart is an excellent marketplace. I have made several purchases there w/o issue.Here on Audiogon, you guys can Private Message (PM) to sell products.Otherwise, there are Audio Asylum and eBay.Keep us posted once you list the speakers for sale.
 I hope that you are well and enjoying this Fall season.Feel free to contact any member of the Panel,  for assistance.
Happy Listening!

Fascinating. Thank You for another Thiel Audio history lesson. To my ears, the CS 2.4 and 2,4SE turned out Awesome! A real Honey of a loudspeaker. We can only imagine about a CS 7.3 model.

Welcome! Good to see you here.  This is a great time to pick up a sweet pair of Thiel Audio loudspeakers via dancastagna.I look forward in reading more about your musical tastes and system.

2nd Note:If running separates, a tubed pre-amp with a solid-state power amp,  is musically rewarding. Ayre Acoustics is a solid-state product with a tube-like soul to my ears.

Thank You for the update. I am sure that there is a buyer for a pair of CS 2.3 w/ upgraded coax. Keep us posted and enjoy the Music!

Thank You for the update. Nice placement on the CS 3.7 in your living room.

2nd Note

 

The CS 3.7 loudspeaker does indeed require a large room to breathe and open in presentation and sound.

Thank You for addressing dolt's query. I still have my feelers out there for an 02 model.  Excellent history lesson on the CS.5 speaker.

I have been experimenting behind the scenes w/ various gear over the years. AYRE made my purchasing decision easy. I wanted an AX-5 in black casing- now I own one. Read back through this thread and you will discover my auditioning time-line for everything else.

I wanted to give a shout out to Panel member jab.My amp is sitting on one of his incredible stands. Fit and finish are second to none. Craftsmanship is beautiful and striking! If you guys are considering an Audio rack or Amp stand, look for further. I will receive a second stand for my spinner soon.

Thank You- Audio is a journey indeed. It is not a sprint, it is a half-marathon to full on marathon. Regarding AYRE, the AX-5, especially in Twenty Series form will yield 90% of it counterpart separates. Unless one needs the extra power provided per separate Power amp or wishes to spend an additional $8K retail, the Integrated is damn impressive.

Happy Listening!
