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 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.

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

Keep up the excellent sleuth work!

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.

Thank You for the update. Good to read that Jadis is a sonic match for our beloved speakers.  The Integrated Amp,  has really progressed forward in the last 10 years.

I continue to enjoy and use AYRE AX-5 integrated amp with matching DX-5 universal player. It is a simple 2-channel system. Additionally, I rotate various CD and SACD players- Accuphase, Esoteric, Hegel, Luxman, Marantz and Parasound.
