I'll second the Alpha-Core Goertz. Alpha-Core uses Thiels, when the Thiel folks let down their diplomatic guard, they tend to reccommend Alpha-Core then others. Alpha-Core offers a generous free trial period. Do ask for the RC networks, some amps absolutely require them.
The Electrocompaniet is a fine amp, but in mine and others experience, not the best match for Thiels. Despite EC's claims to the contrary, the Thiels impedance load is a rough ride for the EC's. BTW, the EC's are lovely with Meadowlarks.
Hififan, FWIW, with Thiels, I like "real" Krells, Pass and Threshold. Others and perhaps yourself if you like the EC sound, seem to like Ayre, big c-j ss, Levinson and Rowland. Think quality first, and as much of that quality as you can afford. IMHO, so called high current designs, highly biased into class A, seem to work well.
"By far the most phase correct cable on the market are the Acitve Telsa cables from Synergistic Research."? Can you substantiate this claim?
Shelie, with all due respect, I find your assertions to be limited in scope, and your "conclusions" presumptious.
Shellie, I meant you no insult. I think Pops has expressed my sentiments perfectly.
Hififan61, please note that the current owners of Threshold have little to do with the Nelson Pass designed Thresholds. Mr. Pass has been generous fielding questions and commenting on his involvement with the Threshold products he designed at: vhttp://www.diyaudio.com/forums/. I have no experience with Purist Audio on Thiels. As another has posted here, I have had good luck with Straightwire and WireWorld speaker cables with Thiels too, but, others might disagree. At the risk of pushing the Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cables too much, I should add that many seem to think these cables work particularly well with Threshold amplifiers as well. The Alpha-Core RC networks or suitable substitutes should be considered mandatory when used with the Threshold amplifiers. Best of luck.
