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 the follow up to audio1326 query about Adcom. I concur, those original Nelson Pass designs are tough to beat in Vintage amplification. I hope that you are well this Spring and having fun in your garage/space.

Welcome! a beautiful room and System. What gear and cabling do I see in the photo? Stay tuned until one of The Panel members chimes in to address your 2.2 query. We have a few fans and owners of CS 2.2 loudspeakers.

Outstanding! At your age and stage in life, I will accept nothing less than having a Blast!

Can you talk about the difference(s) between PowerPoints and ViewPoints ?

Thank you for the comprehensive information and overview of the PowerPoints / Viewpoints speaker systems. These models have a few fans and owners on The Panel.  We can hardly await for driver and XO upgrade packages to arrive!

Sound advice as always. Thank you for fielding these queries.

Welcome! There are a few fans and owners of Model CS 2.3 speakers. Good move by replacing the Denon AvR. Your room is quite large. It could be a case of the front end not providing enough head-room? A pair of CS 3.7 loudspeakers would flourish in a room that size. Something to consider if you continue to enjoy Thiel Audio sound. I look forward in reading more developments.

A Thiel speaker is dependable like a Toyota, exhilarating like a Porsche.

Thank You for the follow up to my query. Good to learn that you are carrying the Thiel Audio torch on other platform(s). I believe that we can all agree on affinity for our beloved loudspeakers. Wonderful sound as well.

Do you have a favorite Model? What gear is in your Stereo system?

Thank You for the Cabling lesson. Yes! Kimber Kable is a sonic match for Thiel Audio. I hope that you are well this Memorial Day, looking forward to Summer.

 

Happy Listening!

2nd Note;

Kimber does offer Entry-level, Mid-Level and Top Tier cabling options. I have always wanted to audition this brand. A strong dealer/retailer is Goldprint Audio in NC.

Taylor represented Thiel Audio and was quite fond of the CS 2.4 , CS 2.7 loudspeakers. In 2023, he still represents Kimber Kable.

 

Happy Listening!

Feel free to mention Cabling as often as you wish. After all, Cabling,  is the forgotten/over-looked component. Absolutely vital to any System.

 

Happy Listening!

tomthiel

 

Do you know the current SW catalog? Entry level to Top Tier?

 

Happy Listening!

tomthiel

Thank You for citing Kimber Balck Pearl. This one slipped under my Radar.

I was thinking that Kimber Select (KS) is/was the Top line? Exciting times at Thiel circa 2012 with Models CS 2.7 and CS 3.7 loudspeakers.

 

Happy Listening!

Thank You for the follow up. I hope that you are well and ready for Summer.

Thank You for the CS 2.7 count. Very cool that the Speaker was manufactured at Thiel Lexington. Did Rob Gillum have a Role during that time?

 

Happy Listening!

tomthiel

 

Outstanding! Glad that Rob had a role bringing the CS 2.7 to marketplace. 1500 pair(s) or not, this is a Testament to Jim's hard work and vision since inception.

 

Happy Listening!

Yes. Consult Rob at CSS for Bass driver and sizzling Coax.
