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!

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!

@jafant when you say that the CS2.4SE’s require the outriggers, is that a personal preference? Also, does anyone on this thread have a lead on the outriggers?  I’d log a set of those.  I got a set of those for my 1.6’s and using a set of the ISOa’s with them and are phenomenal!  The ISOa Gaia III are real.  I thought they would be BS, but can’t believe the improvement.

The Outriggers for CS 2.4SE is not a preference. This Model is properly coupled with Outriggers in place.

 

Happy Listening!

Jafant (and everyone else),

I hope I’m not breaking any rules here, but I am having some CS2.4 outriggers made here in Dallas at a local shop that are identical to the originals (without spikes or caps).  I’m not offering anything for sale, but if there is any interest in obtaining a set of these I can put you in touch with the shop.  Full disclosure, I am in now way connected to the shop or making any money from this - just a conduit to get a set of these are they are almost impossible to find.  If there is any interest send me an email: wisinskt@gmail.com
