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!

Gotta say the 2.4’s even with the fcx are truly fantastic. I loved reading the vintage reviews linked earlier. 
 I spent the last 4 months switching between the 2.4’s and Magnipan 3.7’s. I feel like a guy with two very beautiful wives that get along, are very similar but each shine in slightly different ways….but I can only be with one at a time….truly audio nirvana. I drive them with Pass X260.8, Cary SLP-05 with NOS tubes and silversmith audio ribbon speaker cables and to my ears it is a combination made in heaven….that said we all continue to look for improvements in our quest for perfection. Thanks for all the ideas and especially to Tom for the history of speakers that have emotionally connected me to recorded music for more  than 30 years.

Nice score! Both Cary Audio and Pass Labs are sonic matches for the CS 2.4 model.  What other gear rounds out your system?

Happy Listening!

Agreed- once your system is dialed-in, no need for any further upgrade(s).

Happy Listening!
Thiel’s dialed in and set up are magical indeed ….glad to be among fellow Thielites (?)..ha…. Totally agree bettlemania…good to just sit back and enjoy sometimes.
jafant, my analogue is Rega P8 alpheta 3 mc and rega aria 3 phono stage, my digital is a Cary DMS 700 (r2r ladder dac and streamer) both of which I love. Those I bought new so they were pricey but they are really sweet and hope to have a good long while.
I will let you know if I move forward on 2.4 xo upgrades, probably be a bit as budget is toast and like beetlemania says good to just listen for awhile in between upgrade urges.

Thank you for citing the rest of your system. the Rega P8 is an excellent TT as is the Cary audio DMS 700. To date the DMS has been a great product for Cary. Did you own the 500 or 600 models?
Luckily, the CS 2.4 is not difficult to drive nor match (sonically).

Happy Listening!
