We hebben het genoegen en plezier om deze set thiel cs2.2 Aan te kunnen bieden. Het plezier zit ‘m volledig in hoe deze set klinkt….wat is dit mooi! De set speelt heel transparant met een enorm breed
At €1,099, this is a fair-to-strong price for a clean Thiel CS 2.2, sitting comfortably above the €803 median but below the €1,262 75th percentile in 12 recent comparable listings. The “very nice” condition and warranty make it more attractive than an ordinary example, though not a bargain on price alone.
The CS 2.2 remains a superbly coherent, precise-sounding three-way with excellent imaging, articulate midrange, and surprisingly deep bass from its passive-radiator design. It rewards careful placement and a capable amplifier: its 4-ohm load can dip near 3 ohms, so current delivery matters more than headline wattage. If the warranty covers the drivers and crossover, and both tweeters, woofers, and cabinets check out on inspection, this looks like a worthwhile, low-drama way into classic Thiel performance.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Thiel Audio emerged in 1976 from a Lexington, Kentucky garage, founded by university friends Jim Thiel, his brother Tom Thiel, and Kathy Gornik. With $25,000 borrowed from family and friends, they bootstrapped a high-performance loudspeaker company rooted in Jim Thiel's innovative engineering. The trio expanded into a 35,000-square-foot facility, exporting to over 30 countries and building a legacy of meticulous craftsmanship until operations ceased in 2018 following financial challenges and leadership changes after Jim's 2009 passing.
The brand focused exclusively on loudspeakers, pioneering time- and phase-coherent designs through Jim Thiel's Coherent Source technology. Signature sloped baffles ensured driver time alignment, paired with first-order crossovers, custom drivers, and furniture-grade cabinets. Iconic models like the CS2.4, CS3.7, and early CS01 spanned floorstanders, bookshelves, on-wall/in-wall options, and subwoofers for stereo, home theater, and whole-home audio, emphasizing realistic sound reproduction over gimmicks.
Thiel occupied a distinctive mid-tier high-end niche, delivering audiophile-grade performance—rivaling pricier exotica—at accessible prices for discerning listeners. Revered by enthusiasts for emotional, lifelike playback, its speakers remain collector favorites on the used market, though new production ended in 2018, cementing Thiel as a vintage icon of American hi-fi ingenuity.
