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!

Like @jafant said gear matching is the key and i can tell you guys that the Diablo 300 is really not a good match for Thiels, the tweeters will let you know.

Even with Cardas cabling it didn't tame the treble so i got fed up and sold my Diablo 300.

If you want Danish better look at Vitus awsome match with Thiels.

Just my 2 cents.

I think i'm going to order the Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers for my 3.7s, will let you guys know how that work.

I already put many of them under my electronics and the result is spectacular.

Strange, it sounds great with the ribbon tweeters in my Maggies.

@jafant   thanks Man.   i figured you might know.   I must say that i am amazed at how much better the 3.7's are sounding with the insertion of the new PS Audio DSD DAC II.   The sound is so much richer and easier to listen to.   it shows how much jitter we are getting in digital and how the Thiel speakers really hold nothing back.   Their high resolution is a two edged sword but they sound stunning now.  

@ronkent  I appreciate your update on the sound of the new PS Audio DSD MkII DAC when feeding Thiel speakers. I'm using the original version of that DAC right now, and I'm looking forward to the possibility of trading it in toward the MkII version when the beta testing has been completed. I'm especially impressed that you highlighted the new DAC's sound for its richness and ease of listening rather than focusing only on its reproduction of high-frequency detail. For me, the ideal DAC has to be able to exhibit transparency, imaging, and fullness of tone (especially on voices and acoustic instruments). My own experience is that listeners are too often impressed by detail retrieval even when it is out of balance with richness of tone in the midrange and bass. I'm hoping that the PS DSD MkII can combine transparency with realistic tonality, and that it it never sounds lean or bright on my Thiel 2.2 speakers. Your comments are very encouraging.
