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!

A very good report on the CS 2.7- prof.


Both CS 2.7 and 3.7 can go without the outriggers per the listener.

I look forward in reading about more thoughts / impressions as you massage these speakers into your system. Happy Listening!

I was thinking back to the times I auditioned the CS 2.4, 2.4SE, 2.7 and 3.7 models.  Ultimately, I chose the 2.4SE. I must say that it was a close race between the 2.4SE and 2.7.  To my ears, the 2.4SE won out based upon the facts of cabinet, cross-over, binding posts and included outriggers (necessary w/ the CS 1.6, 1.7 2.4 and 2.4SE).


The CS 2.7 offers the best in JT last designs. These are getting harder to find in the used/demo markets. It would be interesting to learn about the number of pairs built?  I concur, the Ebony finish is special.


Happy Listening!

I actually find the 2.7 sounds a bit more like the earlier models vs the 3.7.
The 2.7 has that slightly tighter, denser, focused concissive quality I'd always heard from Thiel - the 3.7s being a bit more of a departure - smoother more lush.   This is fairly subtle stuff, though.

Thank You Prof 
Your in-depth evaluation is fantastic, Its to bad the the " professional "
evaluators couldn't be as precise as you.
You've help me get over the regret of not moving up to the 3.7s
I purchased one of the last CS2.7 pairs available from Thiel,
I had to purchase the speaker spikes used on the 2.4SEs and 3.7s
in order to penetrate the carpet.
I love the sound and the looks and they aren't so heavy that I'd need help to move them.
