Thiel Owners

Hi all,

This has likely been addressed already, but the 276 pages of this thread are a bit daunting. My question is, what is the upgrade path for Thiel speakers? After getting my hands on the CS 1.2’s, I’m hooked and would like to know which pair I should have my eyes on next. Absolutely loving the 1.2’s, but the beast must be fed.

spacebird - the number before the decimal point is the model. Higher is bigger. The number behind the decimal point is the iteration. Higher is more recent. More recent products incorporate all the learned advancements (that can be afforded).

Next up the ladder for you, if you have a larger room or want bigger bass or louder playback might be a CS2.2, 2.3,2.4. The 2.4 is a stellar sweet-spot.

I'm working on a product summery / timeline to help make the product journey clearer.

Welcome.

hi Spacebird, I have owned five generations of Thiel speakers since 1985.

2.0 (1985), 2.2 (1989), 2.4 (2007), 2.7 (2014), and now the 3.7’s (2019) I would second Tom’s suggestion, but if you can swing it, go for the 2.4’s. A truly wonderful speaker and a big jump in sound quality of the two that proceeded it in my system.

Raise your hands if both of your CS2.4 coax drivers went out?  It happened to me but thanks to Rob at CSS, both got rebuilt. :-)

Thank You for sharing your Customer Service experience with Rob at CSS.

Good to read that parts/rebuilds are still available for the CS 2.4 loudspeaker.

Happy Listening!
