About the CS 2.4
The Thiel CS 2.4 is a high-end, three-way floorstanding loudspeaker system that incorporates all Thiel-designed and built metal diaphragm drivers: a 1-inch dome tweeter coincident with a 3.5-inch midrange driver sharing a single voice coil, and an 8-inch aluminum diaphragm woofer with a 7.5 x 11-inch passive radiator. This coincident driver design eliminates the midrange/tweeter electrical crossover section by using a mechanical crossover, enhancing sonic performance typically reserved for more expensive speakers. The drivers use short coil/long gap, copper-stabilized motor systems to dramatically reduce distortion, combined with low resonance diaphragms and high-quality electrical network components for clarity and tonal accuracy. The speaker is completely time and phase coherent, achieved through a first-order electrical crossover, coincident driver mounting, and a sloped baffle that aligns sound energy to reach the listener simultaneously. The cabinet is robustly constructed with 1-inch thick walls and a 3-inch thick front baffle, finished in various wood veneers. It measures 41.5 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 14 inches deep, weighing 70 pounds. The CS 2.4 has a frequency response of 33 Hz to 37 kHz (-3 dB), sensitivity of 87 dB at 2.8 V/1m, and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms (minimum 3 ohms). Recommended amplifier power is 100 to 400 watts. The speaker is known for its superb imaging, soundstaging, and neutrality, revealing recording quality with high resolution and minimal distortion. A Signature Edition (CS 2.4SE) offers cosmetic upgrades and boutique capacitors for enhanced performance, priced higher. The CS 2.4 was originally
