for the CS 2.4


I'm not going to go into detail here. I just noticed the previous review where the speaker was trashed. All I can say is that, after having heard pretty much everthing that's out there for the last 10 years (as well as being an ex musician) these speakers are contenders. When someone comments on tizzy and annoying highs you KNOW they havn't even heard the speaker. Even die hard Thiel haters like UHF magazine like these one's. Most of the previous comments are outlandishly ridiculous and clearly made by people who have preconcieved notions of what a Thiel is.


Product Weakness: bass not controled with the same iron fist as the 1.5s
highs a little rolled
Product Strengths: accurate and musicical
