Thiel Owners

Happy 4th!
One of my bucket list items is to own and live with a pair of 3.6s.  Someday!

@tomthiel and @jafant  and @jon_5912 :

Thanks all!  I emailed and made what I hope is a reasonable offer - $450 (they're listed for $600).  

Will post back if able to complete purchase.

All - 

There's a pair of 2 2s not far from me - are they worth taking a chance on?  Just looking to play/experiment.  (I know they're OLD!)  Amp is a pair of Exposure 3010S2 monoblocks.  

Thanks in advance!

@tomthiel - 

Thank you - we'll try that.  I grew up a Linnie, so prefer to have a single pair of speakers in a room.  The prior owner is sending me the pins so I can experiment with and without them.  Just a brief listen was positive - airy and relaxed sounding (in the best sense of relaxed).  

I'd try one of the biwire sets I have, but they are bananas all the way around.  

All - 

Should be picking up the 2.2s today.  Assuming I can get them in the door by myself, I'll post impressions (assuming I have a set of single-wire speaker cables!).  

I have now picked up the aforementioned CS2.2s.  

Heavy, look very nice if wider than my normal Monitor Audio GX300s. I only have one set of cables that are single-wired; these being a set of Naim NAC A5s with bananas at one end and bare wire at the other.  

Even not sited well (4' from the back walls, in front of the MAs) and with poor connectivity, they sound quite good.  I'm looking forward to having my son help me move the MAs out so we can try the 2.2s.  

More to follow!

All - 

Brief update on my new-to-me CS 2.2s: Moved to basement with a Meridian 551 integrated amp and a 596 DVD player.  They sound pretty good, though I noted a buzzing sound from the right speaker's woofer.  Turns out to be missing half of the mounting screws.  

Can those screws be sourced, or are they something I can actually find locally?  

Thanks all in advance!

Oh - and if anyone knows anyone who wants to sell a pair of 3.6s in Colorado, please point them my way.  

@tomthiel - 

Thank you!  I'll get in touch with Rob - I'd prefer to use the intended parts, even if it is a screw.  It does have, after all, a rather important job - securing the woofer to prevent it from moving relative to the (very high quality and expensive) baffle/cabinet.  

@tomthiel - 

I emailed Rob and he was kind enough to put screws in the mail to me.  I'd be interested in trying brass - just want to be wary of stripping the material the screws go into.
