Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference
I have CS 2.3s that I upgraded a while back with the improved drivers and crossover parts. It really did not sound "more musical" as Shari, with Thiel, said it should but it did seem a bit more 3D and palpable. I have listened to the CS2.4s in two... 
Comments on Thiel CS2.2 speakers
Depends on your taste. I have never been able to "warm up" (pun intended) to Vandersteen. I started with Thiel CS2, then 2.2 and now CS2.3 and have always checked out the leading contenders before going back to Thiel. They do seem bright on some r... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
Cinematic,I respect your experience and do not doubt you heard what you heard. I just could not figure out why it conflicted with so much opinion in the other direction. I know popularity means little in the end, just look at the top box office mo... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
Cinematic,I hate to keep rehashing this but...The consensus has backed you up? Maybe two people on this board. Let's add up shall we?www.audioreview.com : 65 reviews, 4.5 average rating http://tinyurl.com/4vudjStereophile: "CS2.3 is a superb louds... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
Distortion in CS1.6. Just another question. I looked at Soundstage's test and see only another glowing Theil review. This from their distortion measurement:http://www.soundstagemagazine.com/measurements/thiel_cs16/"Thiel Audio CS1.6 Loudspeakers: ... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
Cine,Facts? Well, still opinion on both our sides. I have had Thiel CS2. 2.2 and 2.3 and they all seem to have a very similar sound. I have even installed the "improved" drivers in my 2.3s and the improvement was subtle. I guess I just like the Th... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
Cinebuns,Rave reviews? "Stereophile", "TAS", "Soundstage", and many more. Try reading sometime. The 2.3 and 2.4 are very similar. Check out the components and speak with Shari @ Thiel. Measurements? Measured at what distance? Where is the mike pla... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
Cinematic_Systems,Thiel 2.3s are "terrible" and "pathetic"??? You seem very much out of touch with the rest of the audio world where this speaker has gotten rave reviews. No speaker is a perfect fit for every listener but to label it so makes one ... 
Thiel 2.3 vs Jm Lab 926
I have not heard the 926s but own the Thiels. Best I have ever heard. Just last week I listened to the new CS 2.4s and compared them to the Quad 988s in the same room. The new Thiels sounded just about the same as my 2.3s and both were better than...
