Happy Listening!

unsound,

Yes sir two pair of CS5i. Running one set with Class A mono’s is a test of endurance in addition to the heat generated that it being summer in the south. 

Running two sets in same room would be as hot as fish grease I’m sure,  but I’m game to try it sometime. 

I enjoy reading your posts and the thought put into them.

Funny you mentioned this back to back speaker configuration, I have often thought about this but always thought that since you were firing a driver from the rear of the speaker you would need a different type driver configuration as the sound would be traveling at twice the distance.

So funny thing I happen to have an additional pair of crossovers and upper range driver for the CS 6's, I can build a enclosure and mount the driver at the same height as the driver in the CS 6. I have a separate amp I could drive this from from the same preamp, I even has a passive preamp that I can use to adjust the volume for the experiment.

With the upcoming cooler weather I will be able to get back into my room upstairs to experiment.

I'll have to let you know how it goes.    

Jafant, 

Still here in Dallas.  Can’t say enough good about the CSS guys…  Rob rebuilt a number of drivers for me (2.3’s) and now Gary has been for the 2.4’s and really helped on various other crazy ideas I’m trying to pull off.

My current setup is obviously my recent acquisition of the CS2.4’s powered by a Parasound A21 amp and Parasound JC2BP preamp.  As for sources, I have a Marantz AV7600 proc, a Linn LP12, a PS Audio Direct Stream Jr./Roon, an Oppo 105 modded to output i2s for SACD and 5 PowerPlane 1.2’s for surrounds.  I have a 2nd setup out at our ranch that is a pair of CS1.6’s (1.2’s are there in a closet as I can’t part with them), a B&K ST-140 amp, a PS Audio 4.6 pre, another Marantz proc and a BlueSound Node for streaming.

Thank You for the System follow up.  Parasound is a sonic match for Thiel speakers. Nice to read that you hung onto those CS 1.6 speakers as well.

Happy Listening!
