Cable assist needed Krell Amp Thiel CS6

"...thiels are lasers that burn a hole in the middle of your forehead." I suspect that your either exagerating or offering the reason you would make such a post.

Goertz Alpha-Core MI or Ag series. Both Thiel and Krell have used them.

I use Harmonic Technologies pro11 (terminated with spades) between my 400cx and CS6s and this is a great combination. For the past 8 years I have not felt the slightest need to change.

I tried the MIT Oracle 3.3 spkr and MIT Oracle 3.3 interconnect with Krell FPB-600 and Thiel CS5i as per suggested by TheCableCompany. I still like the sound of my old MIT Magnum MA between the CD player and pre-amp that made a difference.

I sent all the MIT oracle back and stick with my old XLO Limited Edition LE5 for the spkr.

IMO, dramatic improvement i experienced is the interconnect between CD player and pre-amp with a MIT product. I tried Cardas, Tara Labs, XLO, Transparent MusicWave and many more interconnects not satisfied.

MIT ic's and speaker cables are my rec., I use with thiel 3.6's and classe. Better results when you use mit cable throughout rather than mix has been my experience.

I would recommend that you call the cable company and ask their opinion(s). Then check out a couple (or several) cables and listen for yourself. They have a huge library of cables just for this purpose--I've used them in the past and found them to be very helpful. I didn't always agree with their first choice--that's why you should check out a few and try for yourself. Since they carry many brands of cables they really aren't tied to one particular brand like many dealers are. Bottom line--be patient and let your ears be the judge.

I tend to agree with some of the statements made by fstein. For the reason of potential harshness, I recommend the Transparent Reference cables. I have heard the Thiel and Krell combination with the Transparent and it helped the system a great deal.

The Cardas is also a nice idea because they are somewhat laid back.

I owned a Krell integrated , and the most sucess I had was with Cardas Golden Cross interconnects and Cross Speaker cables. I would probably substitute the Golden Reference interconnects today. I have a pair on my Rowland integrated, and think they offer all the benefits of the Golden Cross, with a more open sound. The Cross speaker cables were quiet, tamed the Krell and allowed it's great bottom end to come through. If your budget allows, I think the Golden Reference would be an even better choice for speaker cables, also.

I went through this with my krell ksa80 and thiel 3.6's. the problem is that in search for linear accuracy, the thiels are lasers that burn a hole in the middle of your forehead. To sound right, a speaker should roll off slightly in an anechoic chamber. You are trying to use a cable as a tone control to offset this. I eventually ditched the system and started over with tubes
sorry.
