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!

Hello everybody, I live in Italy and own a pair of CS3.5. When I read that Mr. Gillum was repairing Thiel speakers, I shipped the CS3.5 bass equalizer for him to restore.
He finally received it last May, 5th and by mail told me it would take a couple of days to check it. Not receiving any reply within a reasonable time I decided to email back two days ago with no luck. So I called many times during normal working hrs in KY and again only answering machine. So today I sent a email to Mr. Tom Thiel, Thiel's former co-founder and to this forum.
Maybe Mr Gillum is just very busy, and I truly hope so, that he is unable to reply and still had no time to get back with me, or he lost my email, but if somebody can tell me how to contact him I would appreciate.
Thank you
Dino

Dancastagna, Thielrules and all,
glad to know Rob is very busy in fixing our loved Thiel’s gear, there is no reason now to overwhelm him with emails and phone calls, I’ll wait patiently.  Thanks,
Dino
Hello everybody, I received a email by Mr Gillum he cannot repair my cs3.5 bass equalizer. 
Despair and frustration, any idea or help? Without it the speakers simply do not work fine in my room, so does anybody know somebody able to fix it? Or where I could find a new used working one? 
Thank you 
Dino
Thielrules, thank you for your advise.
I wanted to create a vintage set so I started 4 or 5 years ago to build it. I begun it with a power amp Accuphase P360, perfect no issue, then I found the Tuner T108, works perfectly with the ant Magnum Dynalab. Then I bought the pre a C260 with many issues, power knob, mc input. It is still under repair, and I could not listen with the Thiel, purchased just two month ago or so. So I am using a pre Proton AP400, and the sound is very thin.
The C260 a a complete parametric eq that allows to increase the frequencies below 100 and or 40 hz. In addition it has a presence control that increases low frequencies when the volume is set below -50 dB. Do you think that I could compensate the lack of the Thiel CS3.5 bass eq with the low tone controls?

Thank you

Oblgny, do you have Thiel CS3.5 bass equalizer properly working? If so how much are you asking? I am not familiar with the policy of this forum so please let me know if we have to talk separately. 
Jafant and all, thank you for your support, today I sent another mail to Mr Gillum asking if he can keep my eq and take all the time of this world to fix it. Fingers crossed....
Cheers
Oblgny, thank you,
can you please ship USPS to a PO BOX?  it should be 14$ insured, this is the price I paid to send mine to Mr Gillum for the eq. Let me know if you are fine with it and how I can pay you and I’ll send the address.
Thank you again,
Oblgny,
THANK YOU, I received the Thiel CS3.5 bass eq and yet not tested as it goes 110V versus 220V in Italy. I had a tech to check it, I would rather not like to use it with a noisy transformer.
Again thank you for giving it for free. 
Going to the one I sent to Mr Gillum, well, still not yet received it back, I do not know if he kept trying to fix or what. If someone gets some info on this I would appreciate.
