Try to score an audition with a pair of CS 2.4 loudspeakers. This model will fit nicely into a medium/normal sized room.
Happy Listening!

Thanks for your suggestion. 

Is the 2.7 a true Jim Thiel first order crossover CS series design?

......keep the input coming, I appreciate it!

@mr_bill 
The CS2.7 was developed after Jim T passed. It was a collaboration in house but with external engineering for the crossover. Search “CS 2.7” written by “tomthiel” to get the history. It has a first order network.

If you aren’t afraid of a soldering gun, get a pair of CS2.4 and either wait for Tom Thiel’s upgrade kit or pour through this thread for ideas of how to make a great speaker into a superb one.

If you search this thread you’ll see a lot from me comparing the 2.7 to the 3.7s.
I owned both at the same time for a while and ultimately went with the 2.7 as it’s smaller size fit better aesthetically in my room. (Plus to my eyes the 2.7s are among the best looking speakers I’ve ever seen).

The 2.7s have the essential sound of the 3.7s, with a slightly reduced sense of scale.


Though without direct comparison to the 3.7, the 2.7s cast a really big soundstage - among the most expansive and precise as you’ll find anywhere around their size.
