Opinions on Thiel CS2?
I own the 1994 CS 1.5s and can tell you they are outstanding considering the small cabinet size.Never heard the CS 2s but i would suspect they are juste as good.A high current amp is required for most Thiels.

You are damn right jafant.

Well i guess this pair was not for me, second offer also not accepted by only 100€.I gave my best offer, i guess i will have to be more patient and wait for another pair to pop out.

You can find a pair of Thiel CS 2.7 for $5K.There is one pair for sale in my country right now for 5250 €.

If you don't like harsh speakers, very high WAF and good match with CJ gear : Thiel CS 2.4 or CS 2.7

Yes Charles VAC makes some of the finest tube linestage out there.The only brand that i can think of that could surpass the VACs is Robert Koda but out of reach for most of us.

scar972 i've been looking for you to have your opinion on the D'agostino Classic stereo as you're probably the only owner on this forum.Can it compete with some much bigger boys quality wise ?What kind of preamp should i consider with this kind of...

I made an offer to the guy, let's wait see if he accepts.

He is using an Accuphase A45 to drive them.

I have to see with the owner if he can lower the price a bit because if we came to an agreement i would have an 11h drive to go pick them up.Luckily i'm equiped with a van.

The CS 7.2s i'm looking at is a 2004 model with the composite epoxy baffle and not the concrete one.The owner is second owner since 2004.

Yes i prefer not to use a sub, rather have a medium size room with good treatment and plenty of clean bass.
