Thiel Owners

Frank - your description suggests the EQ is not working. I suggest getting a test recording. In your room, the deep bass should be big and boomy, and the woofer and midrange should visibly pump much harder than without the EQ.

I’m in the process of acquiring a test cd so I can better identify just what is going on with the bass. Will keep everyone posted. 

I've never had a Thiel although I have heard a few in the distant past. Hope to pick up a 2.4/2.7/3.7 someday--too much stuff right now.

I could easily be wrong on this, but I thought that I read that the Thiel equalizer puts a demanding load in the bass on an amplifier and that a 200 watt/ch solid state at 8 ohms that doubles into 4 ohms and again into 2 ohms was recommended regardless of room size and listening volume.

Welcome! The CS 2.4 can be easily found on the secondary market.
Keep us posted upon acquiring a pair of Thiel loudspeakers.

Happy Listening!

Hed - the EQ itself is not the problem; the problem is that producing that much bass down to 40 or 20 Hz takes lots of muscle. No accident that subwoofers sport kilowatt amps! The eq presents a benign, non-reactive amp load which is easier to drive than the more reactive passive radiator loading of newer Thiel products. In Frank's small room, his amp might fill the bill.
