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 your return here. There are a few fans and owners of PCS on the Panel. What other gear is in your system?

Over on U.S. Audiomart there is an Oppo 105 modded by Mr. Bill Thalmann.

Located in WI. I hope this special player finds the next good home.

Never a skipping record. Thank You for the update. A (big) corner has been turned indeed. I am looking forward in reading/seeing your Collaborator's listening room.

Fascinating progress.

As always, Thank You for fielding the CS3 query.  No doubt that Model 3.5 is the most popular here among The Panel.  Another detailed, interesting Thiel Audio history lesson via CS3 and CS 3.5 loudspeakers and EQ.

Yes! the CS 1.6 speaker will provide a measure more Bass and grunt. Keep a close eye on the look-out around the Web. What other gear and cabling is in your System?

Thank You for comparing models CS 2.3 vs. CS 2.4.  Very informative, as always.

This just in...

Mr. Bill Thalmann has passed away. There are a few tributes across the other Audiophile Forums. Feel free to share your experiences and/or stories about one of  the finest Gentlemen of Audio. R.I.P.

2nd Note;

Over on Audio Asylum (AA) there is a very nice piece on Mr. Bill Thalmann submitted by Abe Collins. Read under Central link/tab. I have written previously that Mr. Abe Collins is directly responsible for my peaked interest in Thiel Audio loudspeakers. I enjoyed reading about his Audio journey leading up to my 1st audition with model CS 2.4. Abe still has those loudspeakers in his listening room. 

A few years back I purchase his Accuphase DP-65v Reference cd player. This spinner continues to hold up well in 2024.

All -

over on U.S. Audiomart there are quite a few Thiel speakers up for grabs. Specifically, I spotted , CD 1.5, CS 1.6 with Outriggers, CS 2.4 with Outriggers and CS 3.7 with outboard XO. I hope all of these fine loudspeakers find the next good Home.

Thank You for chiming in to address the SS2 query. I hope that you are well as we start Spring.

Thank You for posting your experiences, thoughts and impressions on the CS 3.7 Loudspeaker. I concur, in that, models CS 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7 and 3.7 do not require toe-in positioning. Older Thiel speakers may benefit from toe-in positioning.

Sound advice, as always.

Happy Listening!

2nd Note;

In my Thiel trials, I did find that models CS 1.6 and 1.7 speakers benefits from slight toe-in. I hope this helps current and future fans and owners on The Panel.

 

Happy Listening!

tomthiel

Yes, toe-in for the CS 3.7 speaker will certainly decrease high-frequency energy.

Keep up the excellent sleuth work!

Happy Listening!

Good to see you here today. The CS 3.7 speaker does not require toe-in to enjoy its inherent dispersion/radiance HF energy. In other words, Soundstage.

If an Audiophile chooses toe-in, then, HF energy is decreased affecting dispersion/radiance patterns. This is a matter of preference and taste. Hope this opinion clarifies.
