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!

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!

Jafant, I tried several amps with the 2.4’s.  The parasound was a great match for the 2.3’s as well.  The other amps that came close were the Electron Kinetics Eagle, Moscode 300/600 and the CJ 45 - but the A21 just makes the 2.4’s sing.  About ready to do the cap upgrade.  Have you ever been able to compare the 2.4’s with the 2.4SE’s?  Just wondering what to expect if you have.  Also, about to buy a pair of the JC1’s but want to do incremental upgrades so I can judge the upgrade.

Thoughts?

Yes! I spent a few months auditioning the CS 2.4 and CS 2.4SE. My impressions and thoughts are well annotated here in this thread.  In short, I chose the CS 2.4SE for my System. To my ears, the CS 2.4SE adds a measure of richness and timbre.

Very subtle in presentation and sound.  Plus, the SE requires Outriggers, while the standard CS 2.4 does not.

 

Happy Listening!
