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!

@beetlemania,

Thanks for the updgrade info.  That's more comforting that parts values will remain so similar.
@prof I should add that the layouts will be different, especially for the outboard solution. This, more than the change in parts quality, is why Tom wants to ensure that the new orientation is not deleterious.
Oh, right, I forgot that the new crossovers would be outboard.  That would almost certainly rule them out for me.
ronkentI can offer my perspective on the outriggers query. During my initial then critical auditions of the CS 2.4 and CS 2.4SE loudspeakers, my ears found that the CS 2.4 can go without the outriggers (carpet over slab). The CS 2.4SE exhibited a subtle overall sweetness from top to bottom with the outriggers (carpet over slab). I did listen to both models over 100 hours each prior to making my decision about which speaker to purchase.I figure that coupling plays a factor regarding the CS 2.4SE. Perhaps Tom or Rob can share a little more insight?Happy Listening!
