Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig.

I agree with Chad. Vandy 3A work superbly with tube amps.

Bartok is simply incorrect.

I' was only stating what my friend said about his V 3A's. "the V3A's prefer good a good source of power, ss is best" this is what he said.Regardless of how much tube power is required to get results, I find the V 3's too warm for my preference. Too much midrange presence in the room. Ken loves the V 3's, whereas he finds my speaker a bit "cold/thin". Its all about personal preference. Can't recall his ss mono blocks, but he had the Red rose M3 Sig Silver preamp.So I guess you could track down a power tube amp for the job, but then you are working under more restrictions. IOW, trying to match a tube amp to DRIVE EFFECTIVELY the V3's. Whereas they are countless big ss amps that will perform the task. This is what i meant.
Hope that clears things up abit.

Has anyone every tried either of these with a mc275 mkiv

Thanks

I wonder through all of this great discussion if we all agree that sufficient break in time is absolutely required of Thiels (and possible of Vandersteens too).

I know that my CS6s continue to "settle in" even after almost four years of 3 of 7 day a week play.
