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. Stay tuned in until Tom or on of the other SmartSub experts chimes in to address your query.  Which Thiel speakers and gear in is your current system?

Thank You for weighing in on the SmartSub / SI-1 integrator.
Do you have any of these Thiel products in your Hot Rod garage?

Second Note;
the only other subwoofer I can attest is by Sunfire. 
Not sure if these products are sourced to china?

Happy Listening!

2nd Note;

Agreed. Model CS 2.7 was a nice way to honor Jim. I wonder how many pair(s) were manufactured?

Thank You for chiming in on REL subwoofers. The Storm and Strata are true subwoofer classics. I have only heard the Britania Series and they were outstanding!
I suspect that the newer models are excellent even though most are sourced to china.

Very nice systems all around. Is your Pannasonic 9000 player the most current universal spinner?

the CS 3.7 is a very nice match for your PS Audio gear.
What cabling is in your system?

Nice score! on those CS 2.4 loudspeakers. You will not become disappointed.  That is quite a nice mix of gear. Another +vote for Christmas music. Enjoy the Audio journey.

I seem to recall reading about RCAudio. I am currently contemplating cabling myself. I tend to stay away from any product sourced to china (Most U.S. companies unfortunately)?
After I clear this Holiday season, the first brand auditioned will be Swisscable from Switzerland. I will keep this thread posted on my findings.

Nice! how do you like the UB-9000 for Audio playback?
Does this player offer SACD playback?
I have been thinking about adding this spinner to my collection.

Thank You for the detailed follow up. This is a killer spinner spec-wise.

Thank You for the follow up. Denon gear that is made in Japan is top-shelf. The CD/SACD spinners are excellent.
Which brand of cabling are you using?

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the follow up to my query. I want to say that there is another CS 1.2 fan/owner on the Panel. At your leisure, read through this thread from the beginning. There is a plethora of information available to everyone.  It appears that you are a "tech guy" Any special aspect or discipline in Audio?

I look forward in reading more about your Musical taste and system.

 

Happy Listening!

Very nice. I hope the 1.2 repair goes smoothly. Keep me posted and watch eBay/U.S. Audiomart for Thiel loudspeaker parts.

 

Happy Listening!

2nd Note;

a good point of view to consider as above. Do today's leading Audio operations have an understudy (or two) that could carry on the Founder's good work?
What would Thiel Audio look like in 2021, had Jim, had an understudy?
Thank God, we have Tom Thiel here and Rob Gillum in Lexington KY.
These Gentlemen are still flying the Flag.

Always good to see you here. Add AYRE supporters as well.
It would be of interest to learn if Richard Vandersteen has a protege'
under his helm?
