After many years without a high end system (I sold mine years ago), I inherited my dad’s system. He was running Thiel CS 2 2’s with a McCormick DNA-1 Deluxe, Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 pre-amp and old Cardas cables. I never loved the Thiels. To me they sounded cold and the system was fatiguing. Once I got the system, I put swapped out the Cardas cables and IC’s for some Graham Slee cables and IC’s (pretty reasonably priced and very under the radar). I also put a Gold Lion tube one the SFL-1. BOOM! The system became extremely musical, but still transparent. No fatiguing at all. Now I can really appreciate the Thiels.

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!
