The new CS2.4's most innovative design feature is a newly designed coincident tweeter/midrange driver where the two drivers' diaphragms share the same voice coil. This technique allows for the elimination of the midrange/tweeter section of the electrical crossover network as the drivers incorporate a mechanical crossover. Along with eliminating the need for two driver magnet structures, these reductions allow the CS2.4 to achieve a level of sonic performance normally reserved for more expensive speakers. The coincident array also uses very powerful neodymium magnets to improve efficiency and a redesigned magnet venting system to reduce unwanted resonances.
The CS2.4 electrical crossover network provides completely phase accurate transitions between drivers to preserve the recordingÕs spatial information. The network utilizes polypropylene and custom-made polystyrene capacitors, and low-oxygen copper, air-core inductors for very low distortion.

The CS2.4's 8-inch woofer uses a very low distortion short coil/long gap motor system, powered by a 2.5 pound magnet. The rigid aluminum diaphragm eliminates resonance coloration, a special copper pole sleeve reduces inductance distortion, and a heavy copper ring maintains an ultra-stable magnetic field. In combination with the 7.5 x 11-inch bass radiator, the woofer produces exceptionally clean bass down to 33Hz.
The CS2.4 cabinet is built with a 3-inch thick front baffle, 1-inch thick cabinet walls, and internal bracing for extreme rigidity to reduce unwanted vibration, improving clarity and spatial performance. The baffle's rounded edges reduce diffraction effects for improved tonal, spatial, and transient performance, and its sloped front correctly time aligns the tweeter with the woofer.
The CS2.4 is available in a wide variety of exquisite, real-wood, laminate, and painted cabinet finishes, finely crafted to enhance any home environment. Click HERE to see all of THIEL's beautiful cabinet finishes.
