| Thiel Owners Does anyone have any insights on how the 2.4 compares to the 5i? I am currently using the 2.4, but a pair of 5i popped up close to me and the opportunity to own a top-of-the-line-model is hard to resist. They are a bit older than the 2.4 though an... | |
| What to ask when buying used speakers? Lots of good advice here so far! If buying from a reputable dealer I wouldn't worry honestly, assuming they have a good return policy. If buying from a dealer, I would still like to know if the speakers were modified in any way. This can make them... | |
| Thiel Owners In my (limited) experience switching between low power class A, 100 watt tubes, high power class d and now higher power class a/b with my Thiel 2.4, power requirements seem to depend a bit on what you want to get out of the Thiels. I found the sou... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound, turns out you were right when stating that Being stable only suggests that the amp won’t go into oscillation when presented with the specified load. It does not imply with how much power and/or with how much distortion. Even though ... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound thanks for that info! That narrows down the selection of amplifiers somewhat. Based on those numbers, I ordered a PS Audio GCA 250 over to audition, which is supposedly stable down to <1.5 ohm @jafant , thanks for your input. I do... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant, I'm currently using a JK Acoustics Passive 5, which is an old school design from The Netherlands. Very minimalist when it comes to the number of components. Great to hear that you've experienced both, I'd bee interested to hear your exper... | |
| Thiel Owners In your experience, would it be worth it to spend extra money for more watts with the Thiel 2.4, even if mostly listening at lower volumes? I’m currently looking at a used Bryston 4b st (500 watts into 4 ohm) vs the 3b model (300 watts into 4 ohm). | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for chiming in so far! Good to hear that there's at least one original owner whose drivers look the same. My Thiel 2.4s are powered by monoblocks from a local manufacturer called JK Acoustics. Their power rating is 105 watt into 4 ohm, but... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi everyone, Long time reader of this thread here, but first-time poster (: I was hoping for some insights on the following: I recently exchanged my CS1.2s for a pair of 2.4s. When I brought them home, I noticed a sort of brown residue were the s... |
