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!

Thank You for citing your Serial Numbers(S/N). No- there is not a SA-10 in my area of the Southeast U.S. Not to my knowledge anyway. Yes, the Chicago-land area traditionally has one in the showroom. Wisconsin dealer/retailers do as well. A Bryston BCD-3 will be easier to score demo time.Keep me posted and have fun!

Are you keeping the Meridian? Is this company offering any upgrades for the player in your system?

It is sad that Meridian left single-box player owners. I would think that this company would continue making spinners to promote their MQA technology?  24 years (and counting is not a bad run- at all).Yes, keep me posted on your purchase decision.IMO, Bryston, should have incorporated SACD playback in the BCD-3.Perhaps this company is working on the next generation spinner- BCD-4?

Your Cd purchase thread is really taking off! Many,excellent suggestions in the  posts.  Who says "CD is dead?" Or SACD for that matter?

Over on U.S. Audiomart there is a pair of 03A plus Active equalizer.

Outstanding!  As a fellow Integrated amp owner, I can hardly await for your impressions and thoughts on the new CODA CSiB V1 integrated amp.Being in this hobby for 35 years (and counting) I never thought that I could be Aurally satisfied with an integrated amp. These Products have  grown and matured in the last 10 years, IMO.

Thank You for sharing your Benchmark/CODA experience.  Which brand(s) of Cabling did you settle into System?

Check out the U.S. AudioMart listing in Great Falls VA for a pair of 3.5 loudspeakers. Hope this is helpful to Bill Thalmann.

I am looking forward in reading about the Audience vs Tellurium Q.

Audience is a sonic match for Thiel loudspeakers.

How do you like the P.A.D. / StraightWire combination in your system?

We have a few P.A.D. fans and owners here on the Panel.

Good to see you again. Thank You for the Tell-Q confirmation. I knew that there was at least 1 member here on the Panel.

Good to see you here as always. You are the 1st Panel member I reference when someone inquires about CS 1.2 or CS 3.6 loudspeakers. I hope that you guys have fared well with the Virus in Birmingham.

Yes, Thank You for citing the Serial Numbers (S/N) on your speakers. I liked the Promo link as well. Nice introductory touch.

Tom and myself are trying to figure out approxiamtely how many pair(s) of Loudspeakers were manufactured. Purely research and development (R&D).

Did you start with entry-level Tell-Q cabling then move up to Ultra Silver?

 

Happy Listening!

No doubt that S/N information will be of service to Rob Gillum at CSS.

Good to read that valuable information is helping your perspective in Thiel Audio history.

Excellent summation. I hope that you are well and enjoying Fall season.

Nice! low numbers(87/88).  Incredible! Agreed, the better dealer/retailers will allow you to compare Loudspeaker models. I was fortunate to share the same experience during my Thiel quest.

 

Happy Listening!

 

Panel member pwhinson has a sweet pair of CS 2.4 in Tiger Ebony (Composite Ebony) finish. Very attractive and striking in appearance.

 

Happy Listening!

ydjames

 

Equally, nice! low numbers (101/102). The Tiger Ebony finish is striking.

Is Silver Diamond the Top-Tier line? or, Statement?

 

Happy Listening!

Hang in there. Rob is a 1-Man operation. He will catch up on emails and phone calls around daily speaker business.

Thank You for the update on Mr. Rob Gillum. I would like to read more about Walter Kling. Is he alive and involved in Audio? Retired?

I hope that you are well and ready for Thanksgiving next week.

Thank You for being a valued member on the Panel. And addressing silvanik's 3.6 tweeter (driver) query.

Thank You for citing the Thiel Audio Roster. That is some Team you guys developed. No wonder our beloved loudspeakers are still relevant in 2021 moving forward into 2022. Can you believe all of this good fortune?

Good to see you here again. We all had a starting point on this journey called Audio. Your list is quite extensive. Enjoy the Music.

Are you moving away from Thiel? I look forward in reading more about you and your current System. There are a few fan/owners of the SS1 and SS2 SmartSub on the Panel.
