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!

Hang in there prof-


Thiel appealed to me the most for the fact that one does not have to spend big money to enjoy the music.  One can spend any amount to achieve the desired effect or outcome. Choice is yours.


I would never participate in any hobby that has some kind of financial

cap, limit, or mandate. Happy Listening!

Anyone heard of this;


A pair of Thiel speakers with model printed as 03A on connector board, but a sticker was placed over it that said 04. The sticker also had the serial number.

Only reason I know 03a was underneath is because one sticker fell off .

They look like this .

Note the gold trim bar that runs across the face at the bottom of the baffle board.

When I got them, the passive radiator surround was crumbled. That's when I discovered it was a passive . Replaced the surround.

So these pair have two active elements and a passive.

Is the passive element correct for these.

When replacing the surrounds there was no wiring connection on the passive or wires loose in the cavity.

btw found at a garage sale. A full garage. Tube gear, records, buddy was thinning the herd.




Sitting here today beginning the break in period of my new Ayre VX-5 Twenty into my Thiel CS2.4  Delivered from factory to my dealer on Thursday and I picked it up that evening.  Put a few hours on these past few nights just enjoying the process.  My XLR cables will arrive next week so using my Audience AU24SE RCAs between the VAC Renaissance Mk3 and the Ayre with AU24SE speaker cables.  I loved the Thiel with my VAC KT88 amp, but this is a different level of enjoyment.  In two weeks the system moves to our newly purchased home where it will have a room mostly dedicated to it and more room to stretch its musical legs.  Need to get some hours on the amp now so we are well on our way through the initial break in period.

Congratulations on your new addition! Larger room is always better and I'm sure you will see that after the move. I hope you still have the tube amp and try it after your move, but Ayre makes excellent products.
