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 here again. Any of these older Thiel speakers are great for experimenting and play.  Parts are still readily available as well.
In fact, a pair is/was available in my area.

Happy Listening!

Thank You for chiming in to assist naimfan's query. Between B&W and Thiel a music lover cannot go wrong.

Thank You for the R&D notes for the CS 2.2 loudspeaker.
In my opinion (IMO), the Passive Radiator is very special.

Excellent! Once you un-box and rack the gear, post pictures, in Virtual Systems for the Panel.

Keep me posted as you massage the speakers into your room/system.

Good to see you here again. Thank you for the system update.
Very nice gear around the CS6 loudspeaker.
Yes! Cabling is key and often the over-looked component.

Thank You for the reply to dmac67's query. Very detailed and informative, as always.  I hope that you are well this Summer evening.
Have you found a new space for R&D plus Studio?

Welcome! Good to see you here. On the Panel are several fans and owners of the 3.6 loudspeaker. Take your time reading through this thread. Stay tuned until one of the members chimes in regarding your query.  
Nice Virtual Systems page. How do you like Wireworld cabling in your system? I look forward in reading more about your musical tastes.

Agreed- it would be pretty cool to hear those modified CS 3.6 loudspeakers. There is something to be said about modified Audio gear, in general.

Thank You for the follow up and citing Serial Numbers (S/N) on your speakers.

Those are nice, low, numbers. Good to read that a Rotel receiver can drive the 03.

Right On! We all can learn from modified Audio gear.
Specifically, CD/SACD/Universal players.

I am looking forward in reading more about your Meridian/Thiel combination. I believe that you are the 1st member here using Meridian gear.  What brand of Cabling?

Welcome! Good to see you here. Reading through this thread, you will find several owners of 3.6 loudspeakers. We have a few fans of Bryston gear as well. What other gear rounds out your system?
I look forward in reading more about musical tastes.

I like your approach- a simple system works for me as well.

Some of those Panamax models does steal current from One's system.
Remove the conditioner for an A/B comparison. Then, you can tell if the product is a benefit. Not all line/power conditioners work as advertised.

Thank You for the additional Stream information.
Perhaps Qobuz and Tidal offer a different codec?

I am loving all of this Cable talk!  Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the update. I did not know if Bill provided a turn-around timeline for the SCD-1.

Happy Listening!
tomthiel

Excellent! It would be a fine thing to have an upgraded CD/SACD spinner plus Amps.  Bill has been on his own (away from Conrad Johnson) for decades now. I can only imagine his Operation and Supply chain...

Welcome! Good to see you here. Stand by until one of our 3.5 experts chime in to address your query. Model 3.5 is quite popular here among the Panel.
I look forward in reading more about your musical taste and system.

Thank You for the follow up to woodysticks' query. Very interesting about the correlation between a 3.5 vs. 2.2 mid-driver.

Happy Listening!
tomthiel

A special "Thank You" for being such an encyclopedia on all things Thiel Audio, specifically, our vintage fans and owners on the Panel.
Enjoy Summer.

Good to see you again. Tom will chime in on the differences bewteen a CS5 and CS5i loudspeaker. Stay tuned.
I believe that there are a few CS5/CS5i owners here on the Panel.

Good to see you again. Do you still own the CS6 loudspeaker?
What gear is in your current system?

Good to see you here again. Thank You for the CS5 and CS 7.2 comparison. You are fortunate to own both models. I concur, in that, Bass is certainly not bloated/flabby regarding Thiel Audio. Better descriptors are accurate, taut, Bass. These definitions ring true in models CS 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7 and 3.7 speakers.

Happy Listening!
