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!

Tom,

I use the nude termination on my Morrow SP7 cables into the 3.7s. Also the same contact grease (on your recommendation).  Since the cable could slip out easily, I had to "secure" them in place with a wrapping of electrical tape. Still not optimum, but the sound in fabulous.

When you say 'nude termination' I take it to mean the cable is self-terminated with no additional hardware. Good move. But now to the speaker input terminals. Whenever there is a cross-sectional excess of conductor in the signal path, eddy currents are induced along with other forms of non-linear flow. Those induced reactive fields present erratic impedance to the input signal. I suggest you put some straight or 45° banana plugs on the ends of your SP7s and fit them to the terminal center holes. Set the nut aside. (The actual post is OK.) Compare. Report.

Tom,

Yes, cable is self-terminated with no additional hardware. Nude is what Morrow calls them!

But re the banana plugs -- I could do that. Do you have recommendations regarding brands and/or materials?

The clones I described above are gold plated brass from parts express. Genuine WBT multiplies the price.
