Thiel CS2.3: Three-way, floorstanding loudspeaker. Drive-units (all anodized aluminum): 1 (25mm) dome tweeter, coincident with 4.5 (114mm) cone midrange; 8 (204mm) cone woofer; 9 (230mm) passive radiator. Crossover frequencies: 900Hz, 3kHz. Crossover slopes: Acoustic first-order, 6dB/octave. Frequency response: 37Hz - 20kHz, 2dB. Phase response: minimum phase 5 degrees. Nominal impedance: 4 ohms (3 ohms minimum). Sensitivity: 87dB/2.83V/1m. Recommended power: 100-400W. Dimensions: 41.5 (1055mm) H by 11 (280mm) W by 15 (380mm) D. This compound driver uses a mechanical crossover that couples the two speaker diaphragms at lower frequencies so the cones move in unison, but at higher frequencies the suspension decouples the mass of the midrange driver from the tweeter. This physical crossover combines the power handling capabilities of two separate drivers with the phase coherence of a single unit.

Amplification is always an issue with Thiel speakers, which are best suited to solid-state amps that have lots of power. I had nearly the opposite -- a mid-power (50Wpc) tube integrated amp. While the SCS4s and my amp may not have been an ideal pairing, I was certainly able to hear what the speakers were capable of, and my integrated never ran out of power. Still, if you audition the SCS4s, hearing them with a solid-state power or integrated amplifier is a good idea. When you look at a speaker, you tend to form certain impressions about its sound, even before it has been fed a signal. The SCS4 is a rather large minimonitor, and from such a speaker you would expect a good sense of musical scale. In this respect, the SCS4 didn't disappoint. No loudspeaker can truly reproduce the scale of an orchestra, but I was struck by how well the SCS4 managed this task on Kodály's Háry János Suite [Teldec 9031-77547-2]. This amusing little piece has numerous exposed solo passages interspersed with full orchestral tumult. Not only did the SCS4 render the volume difference in these passages exceptionally well for a speaker with a 6 1/2" bass driver, it didn't become confused in the sections with full instrumentation. Sometimes when listening to large-scale orchestral music, I feel that I'm missing something with monitor speakers. I never felt that way with the SCS4. Bigger speakers will sound bigger, but these will be just fine for most rooms and most listeners.
