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!

Can anyone recommend an "audiophile solution" to using straight banana plugs on the bottom-mounted binding posts? 

I know I can cobble something together at the hardware store, or from Amazon, but what have you all done?

I just laid my speakers down to see if any of my expensive cables can fit and found my right-angle bananas were badly bent. I need something better.

 

 

My speaker cables are terminated with spade lugs.  Just be sure not to damage the terminal by overtightening.

One of my 8in woofer on my CS2.4 finally gave out.  There is something kind of noise coming from the woofer.  Does anyone know if Rob at CSS can rebuild the 8in. woofer?

I think I found a workable solution to connecting cables with straight banana plugs to the down-facing binders on our Thiels.

Rummaging around through my audio junk box I found a set of four gold spade lugs I had bought off Amazon. These are very thick, fit a 5/16 post, and have a wire barrel that just happens to fit a 4 mm banana plug.

These aren't the ones I bought but I'd probably choose these instead--being Nakamichi.
