My sincerest apologies my intent was not to offend you, your 2.4 SE or this thread you have worked so diligently at.
My first exposure to the Thiel CS line was back in 1998/99 time frame. I was in Santa Fe, NM and heard the CS2.3's being played through a Proceed amp, not sure of the other components as the sound coming from the speakers captured my attention like no other speaker had. I remember standing there thinking that even with the speakers sitting in an entry way they just sounded right, the cohesiveness of the sound coming from them was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately they were way outside my affordability and I was thinking that this is what highend audio is about.
Those speakers always haunted my memory but I never had the opportunity to hear the CS2.4's in my travels but was always intrigued.
After experiencing the Thiel PCS that I purchased for my office system I wanted to experience the CS 7.2 as they were now within my reach on the used market, Thank You duramax747 for that experience. One thing I realized is as I get older the 7.2 would not be a logical speaker to purchase as I would not always be able to move them about and I do plan for one more relocation as I approach retirement. So I turned my attention towards the CS 2.4SE as like you all the reviews and memories of the CS2.3 whetted my appetite.
The CS 2.4SE's have far exceeded my expectations. I have never heard the Apogee Slant8 so I have no ground to compare them to but I can say the CS 2.4SE's have replaced my Vandersteen 3A Signatures of the pass 13 years.
So it appears you and I have more in common than it appears.
Again my apologies if I have offend you, and Thank You for your diligence with the thread, had it not been for this thread I might not have ventured back to the Thiel brand.
Also my apologies on my audiophile vernacular, its not all that kosher even after all these years bumbling through the weeds.
Take Care
