The Thiel Audio CS-2.4 SE is a three-way floorstanding loudspeaker that incorporates all-metal diaphragm drivers: a 1-inch dome tweeter coincident with a 3.5-inch midrange cone sharing a single voice coil, and an 8-inch aluminum cone woofer supported by a 7.5 x 11 inch passive radiator. This coincident driver design eliminates the midrange/tweeter crossover section, enhancing sonic performance with improved time and phase coherence for greater realism, clarity, and soundstaging. The drivers use short coil/long gap motor systems with copper-stabilized magnets to reduce distortion. The cabinet features a sloped baffle for proper acoustic alignment and is constructed with thick walls and a beveled groove design for the Signature Edition. The CS-2.4 SE employs ultra-fine grade boutique capacitors in its crossover network for exquisite refinement. It measures 41.5 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 14 inches deep, weighing 70 pounds. The speaker is finished in hand-selected Birdseye Maple with a deep red stain and includes stainless steel hardware and a laser-etched signature plate by Jim Thiel. It is recommended for use with amplifiers delivering 100 to 400 watts into 4 ohms, with a sensitivity of 87 dB and frequency response from 33 Hz to 37 kHz (-3 dB). The product comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
