Thiel Owners

So today, just on whim, I decided to move my 2.4’s in my secondary rigs small 12 x 13 room to see how they would fare on the ARC Classic 60 amp/Herron 1a preamp.  The amp only has 60 watts a channel, and I thought it would be anemic on the power hungry Thiels. 
In short, I was waaay wrong. Not only did the ARC drive it, but 2.4’s sounded better than they ever did with the Parasound A21/BAT preamp combo.  The bass was outstanding, but I think that had more to do with the smaller room. Its so good I’ll be moving the Thiel’s permanently in there. And to think I was thinking about selling them. 
Anybody else have a similar experience?

I will concur w/ beetle- "S" most likely means Solens.
Great job!

Happy Listening!

Right On!  Yes- the CS 2.4 can absolutely play well with as little as 60wpc.  Your 12x13 room provided the icing on the cake.

My 1st encounter with the 2.4 was in a small room (not exact on actual dimensions?).  I always go into any demo with my living room in mind and Soundscape's room was smaller indeed. In reflection, the presentation and sound was perfect. And to think, a small Creek integrated amp was provided the aural pleasure.  I was and am hooked!

Happy Listening!

2nd note- good to read that you re-considered against  selling the CS 2.4 loudspeaker. Big mistake, IMO.

Happy Listening!

@last_lemming I haven't found Thiels to be particularly power hungry.  I'm sure some are but some definitely aren't.  I've had my 2 2s hooked up to very moderate amps and they've sounded great.
