Thiel CS6 Loudspeaker Measurements part 2

A reviewer's life is not all fame and fortune. There are downsides, too, one of which is that, while many great-sounding components pass through your listening room, only a few get to stay there on anything like a permanent basis. (And that involves money changing hands, as in [<I>gasp!</I>] "purchase.") Before I bought my long-term reference loudspeakers&mdash;a pair of <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/272">B&W John Bowers Silver Signature</A>s&mdash;back in 1994, the speakers that had spent the most time in my 2900-cubic foot listening room were a pair of Thiel CS2 2s. I reviewed the '2 2 in the January 1993 issue of <I>Stereophile</I> (Vol.16 No.1), and although it was relatively affordable ($2250/pair at the time of the review), it did most of what I wanted a speaker to do. Other than a limited dynamic range in the bottom audio octave and a slightly exaggerated top octave, the CS2 2 sounded effortlessly smooth and free from coloration throughout the midrange and treble. It was also a real imaging champ.
