2nd Note;
The CS 7.2 looks like a BEAST of a loudspeaker.

Good to see you here again. Thank You for the follow up on model CS5i loudspeakers. I knew that a few Panel members are represented.
Cable discussion(s) are never off-topic. In fact, Cabling, is not discussed enough, IMO. Which brand of Silver IC did you purchase?
The Audio Journey is worth it!

Good to see you again. I am glad that you are enjoying the new CODA #8. We know that CODA/Threshold gear are sonic matches for Thiel loudspeakers. Keep us posted on Cabling options for your CS3.7 / #8 / Sony ES combination.

Thank You for the follow up to my query. Good to read that Stager Silver Solids is a sonic match. Keep up the excellent researching.

I am still assessing and evaluating Cabling at present. Historically, I have heard older Audioquest and Kimber Kable silver offerings. Since I own AYRE/Thiel this could be too much of a good presentation (Resolution).

Good to see you again. Yes, back in May I had my 1st Swisscable audition. I say 1st, because the dealer/retailer had a technical difficulty with his Audio Hungary amp. A 2nd demo is slated for October due to my work schedule. By that time, any/all bugs will be worked out of the amp.
No. I have not auditioned Pro-Level cables/cords.
I am not opposed to any Cabling options (consumer nor pro).
Thank You for sharing Cardas' ability to play well within a Thiel -based system. The experts report that this newest generation is not as warm (rolled off) as the older offerings.

I will have an opportunity to audition QLN speakers on my next Swisscable demo. This will be the Prestige 5 model. October is slated on my calendar. I will post my impressions and thoughts here.

I hope your 3.5 loudspeakers find the next good home soon.
This is a very popular model among the Panel.

Welcome! Good to see you here. What other gear rounds out your system? I look forward in reading more about musical tastes.

Very nice! Quite a speaker collection. Always good to see a fellow 2.4SE owner. What are the Serial Numbers (S/N) ?
Equally nice is to read about Disc spinners -Wadia and Esoteric.
Which models? There is no such thing as being "behind". Certain vintage gear still stands up very well in 2021.
I am a disc-spinner Owner for life !

a pair of CS 2.7 loudspeakers in Piano White are very rare. Nice score!

Welcome! Good to see you here. McCormack/Thiel combination is well-represented in this thread. This pairing is well reviewed amongst the Panel.
What other gear rounds out your system?

Thank You for citing those S/N on CS 2.4SE. That is incredible!
When/where did you find this wonderful loudspeaker?

Welcome! Good to see you here.
Krell/Thiel is a sonic match. Nice to read about owning a KAV-400xi.
I have spent time with Nordost Blue Heaven and Red Dawn, not in a Thiel-based system, though. What other gear rounds out your system?
Happy Listening! |
duramax747
Thank You. I do recall reading that review. Were you the reviewer?
Did you purchase the review sample from an Audio critic?

Excellent! Always good to read about a Conrad Johnson fan and owner.
Agreed- depending on model, room dimensions count regarding Thiel Audio loudspeakers.

Excellent Amp selection. The Ampzilla models are certainly capable in driving any Thiel loudspeaker. I believe that there is 1 other member on the Panel.

Thank You for the confirmation and follow up. From the beginning, there are/were not too many CS 2.4SE reviews. Incredible to read about those low S/N ! Enjoy the Music.
Happy Listening! |
tomthiel
et al., Over the years, I have noticed CS 2.4 and CS 2.4SE loudspeaker reviews disappearing from the net? Not that there were very many of each model published. Still, it is a strange occurrence?
I suspect other types of articles/reviews are deleted/removed as well.

Thank You for the introspective view on model CS 2.4 loudspeaker.
Very interesting information on Lexington boards vs. Masonite boards.
We all are looking forward to upgraded XO options in the future.

Welcome! Good to see you here. Nice gear on-hand.
Are you looking to build a system around the CS 1.5 or CS 2.7 loudspeakers? Both?
I look forward in reading more about your Musical tastes and system(s).

Thank You for the clarification. If you enjoy the Rotel sound- seek a matching Rotel pre-amp.
The RB 1582 will act as a fine start until you can upgrade.

In a prior system, I enjoyed, Rotel and B&W 805 speakers circa early 2000's.

is this a CD or LP set? I have the CD set arriving soon and can test on a fellow Audiophile's CS 3.7 speakers. Stand by until one of the CS 3.7 owners on the Panel chimes in to address your query.

Good to read that Tidal was the culprit. Servers and Steamers do not sound "right" to my ears.

A good measure from the back wall is 2-3 feet. IMO, models CS 2.4/2.4SE , CS 2.7 and CS 3.7 does not benefit from toe-in.

Thank You for the extra follow up regarding music server/streamer progress. We have a few members on the Panel who are into computer audio applications.
On the flipside, my physical copy of the 5-CD set arrives next week.
I am looking forward in hearing this Album remixed plus all of the session out-takes.

Thank You for pricing the Kento at $40K. It is an impressive loudspeaker system.
I dare say that I like it better than the Series 7. Still, I paid $3500- for my sweet CS 2.4SE loudspeakers. No contest. And I quite a large sum of money left over for other components.
Happy Listening!

Right On! Vandersteen and Wilson Audio are still cutting-edge, SOTA.
I hope that you are well. If Charlie Hansen(RIP) were alive today, it would be interesting to watch his creations as well. Add AYRE to the list.

My ATMP 5-CD set arrived on schedule. It will take a few weeks before I can start scratching the surface of this classic remaster/remix.
Happy Listening! |
yyzsantabarbara
Yes! I will enjoy the 2021 edition for remaster/remix Value only.
Audiophiles will suggest the original U.K. Vinyl (LP) and 1987 U.K. CD (digital) as the Top tier aural experience.
