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!

@duramax747    The Mundorf 100uf caps are electrolytics ,  I should have the Purity caps by the end of week and installed by the weekend , I'll post pictures on the virtual system page .  

@anzen   Purity caps are available at Parts Connexion in limited values , they are less expensive than Madisound but right now Madisound has more values available right now .  I understand your dilemma , Years ago before I started I considered going external but the workload would have been daunting and expensive, not being sure of the value added I went with staying internal . It's taking me over 3 years between thinking about it and ( almost ) completing the internal upgrades , if I went external I might be hearing anything yet !  What duramax747 is going to do would be my dream now that I've experienced the improvements that upgrading components produce . 

 

anzen,

For me, after weighing all the options, and outboard crossover makes sense. 

Among the benefits choosing a cap based on it's sonics rather than size, inboard needs to fit in speaker cavity, was a large factor for me. 

vair68robert,

My error on the Mundorf's as I thought they were film.

I am looking forward in reading and seeing more about the Outboard XO option.

Keep up the excellent DIY work!

 

Happy Listening!

jafant,

I have many oars in the water at the moment but will get there when time presents itself.
