Thiel Owners

Put my Thiel CS2.4 back in rotation and wow! They are truly amazing speakers. In some regards, besting my Audio Physic Avanti 3.

I'm fortunate enough to have 2 pair of speakers of this caliber that I can swap in and out at will. Yes, a bit of work, but so worth it!

The Thiel's can disappear like no others when you give them the best recorded material. It's almost scary at times!

Jan - thanks for your comments. I am looking forward to including the 2.4s in my queue. They seem to be the audiophile darling in lots of ways, and I hope to calibrate how they stack up with the other models in my rotation. In particular my present work seeks to tame the consistently reported brash congestion with less than best recordings. That problem is not only the recording - the speaker can also be made to handle that situation better.

All - I'm looking forward to what 2020 will bring to these old Thiel classics. Merry Christmas

Hey kids,  just want to let you know that the payment options/rules for selling equipment here have changed with a suspiciously invasive set of requirements requiring a seller to declare him or herself a dealer or a merchant in order to complete a transaction. 

Because of this I am ending my membership in this otherwise excellent community. 

This thread and it’s contributors has been equally educating and just plain fun to follow. I wish you all the best this holiday season!

With the CS2.4, when I listened to Pink Floyd Welcome to the Machine track on Wish You Were Here album, the initial sound affects of the track comes practically from the right wall right on my right side at my listening position. With my own speakers or from other brands, the affect comes also from the right wall but further up close to the speakers so it is not quite as spooky as with the CS. I also listened to them at a dealer with a more proper room treatment and the soundstage was even more real.

Good to see you again. Thank You for the update. One will be hard-pressed to better the CS 2.4 loudspeaker.

Happy Listening!
