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!

I am not familiar w/ the Goertz brand. Which model(s) are the best sonic match?


Happy Listening!

I don't know models, but I know that Jim used Goertz flat cables in the development lab as his reference.  Jim's perspective was that cable performance is cable business. He felt that Goertz performs cable business the best he found. That may seem obvious, but it is not commonly practiced. Many designers choose to ameliorate or mitigate various upstream problems . . . pull punches, soften, generalize, etc. to keep things polite, avoid offense. Jim, however, was committed to high resolution translation of the signal at the input terminals. Some folks appreciate that. Thiel assessed that to be the purest statement of the art.

Jafant, I have used 2 models, MI 2 and MI 3.  I prefer the MI 2 model to the larger AWG 3 although the comparison might not have been fair.  The MI 2 has silver spades and I ordered the MI 3 with Rhodium spades and I believe that termination is inferior and resulted in highs a bit on the harsh side.

The MI series is copper, I have never tried the AG models.
