Now I want your CS2.4SE's instead! I wouldn't mind the Thiel CS3.7 but they may be a little large for my office listening room. ;-)
P.S. My Thiel CS2.4 are down in the basement stored away for now. I'm using the smaller Tannoy D500's in my office.
They are very sweet guys! The CS 2.4 is still an excellent speaker, no doubt.
jhrlrd: how do you like the Thiel/Modwright/first watt synergy?
which cabling are you using. PLease post pics of your CS 2.2 speakers!
fantja: Great synergy. The 2.2s although may not be very sensitive, are an easy load, never dipping below 3.? ohms. I drove them no problem with a tube amp in triode 18w mode.
I don't have anything fancy for speaker cable. Using Morrow's better models, and have in hand a Mark Tunis pair. The speaker cables are hard wired into the external crossovers, then hard wired to the cones.
Interconnects I have a HFC CT-1E from oppo to modwright pre. Pre to amp is TEO liquid GC.
The TEO is hard to describe: It give a slightly different presentation, can't say this or that specifically is better, just everything is better.
Worth a try.
jhrlrd-
you certainly have an interesting hodge/podge of cabling. Nothing wrong w/ that- how about some pics?
Hodge podge would be the correct term fantja.
you should see the power cables: foundation research, triode wire labs, DCCA ribbon, dreamcatcher(don't know if that's the brand or model) to the power conditioner, Bybee.
Trouble is, I don't really know where to best utilize them on which component. So every once in a while I'll swap two. Usually don't hear any difference.
Ya, I want your 2.4s too...I remember always wanting something by Revox...
now Nagra.
