Thiel CS2.4 Signature Edition Speakers

Filed under: Home Audio > Speakers > Floorstanding Speakers



Thiel Audio has released a new signature version of their popular CS2.4 speaker, which occupies the middle ground in their floorstanding line between the CS1.6 and CS3.7. The driver complement for the CS2.4SE is the same as the standard version. It's a 3-way, time-and-phase accurate design that uses an 8" aluminum diaphragm woofer augmented by a 7.5 x 11" "race track" passive radiator, and a 1-inch dome tweeter and a 3.5-inch midrange driver in a coincident array.

The CS2.4SE features a new crossover that incorporates high quality polypropylene and custom-made polystyrene capacitors for claimed improvements in precision, balance, and detail, a new hand-selected Birdseye Maple finish stained in deep red that Thiel calls "Vermilion Maple", stainless steel hardware securing the drivers to the baffle, milled aluminum Outriggers and highly polished stabilizer spikes, and Jim Thiel's signature on the rear of the cabinet. Production of the CS2.4SE is limited to 150 pairs, priced at $8,000.
