Thiel Owners

Just add another pair of Thiel 2.2 to my system. I am planning to do the SACD 5.0 multi-channel. Will need another singer 2.2 to complete the system.

Current system

Oppo 95 SACD player
Kimber PBJ
Sony TA-E9000ES muti-channel pre-amp
Kimber PBJ IC
Bryston 9B-ST 5 channel Amp
Kimber 8TC Speaker cable
Thiel 2.2 Front L/R Rear L/R
PSB C5 Center

I have a pair McCormack DNA1.0 powered Thiel CS1.5, couldn’t be happier.

Yes I acquired a pair of Thiel CS.5 for $100, The owner is leaving for UK so I got this small cute. Will used it with my 2.2 to form a DSD 5.0 listening environment. I use a Lexicon 512 (aka Bryston 9B-ST) to drive them, using Oppo 205 as source player. Amazing sound and listening experience. For those only listening to 2 channel, you should try SACD multi-channel. Unmatched acoustic.

I am using Kimber 8TC for Main, 4TC for rear and center. DH Labs Silver Sonic IC. I got a Sony ES TA-P9000ES 1st  but later run directly from OPPO to Amp. Amazing sound. I combined HT and SACD system into one. For 2 channel system, it is very hard to position a pair of speaker. For SACD multi-channel. Just draw a circle and use angle to measure the speaker position, super easy, esp if you have five identical speakers.

Classical music and chamber music. I have more than 1000 SACDs combined with Netflix 5.1 movies. I am using three thiel 2.2 for the main and two .5 for the rear. Ideal would be five Thiel 2.2s for the complete SACD 5.0 system. But nothing is perfect in real world. So i can live with current setting.

I have a pair if Thiel 2.2. Paired with McCormack DNA 1.0. Oppo 105D Tidal streaming. The SQ is excellent.
