hi,
Dsigga ... I have a WAF to deal with. She likes them where they are in terms of the overall appearance of the LR. Perhaps I'll move the chair a foot or two, a good suggestion.
Aball ... I know the best thinking about Thiels is ss with lots of watts 200 to 400. The Cary has 80 in the Ultralinear mode and I am using the 4 ohm taps. I did try them with a high current ss amp 230 watts in 8 ohms and 380 into 4 ohms. They certainly could play louder and the bass was thunderous. I however, prefer the tube sound and decieded to use the Cary amp. I know this is contraian but it does sound very good. I can't get 110 db with it but at 85, 90 to 95 db, which is loud for me they sound very good. I listen to jazz and some classic rock and a lot of female vocals. If I was into classical music I think I would need more power because of the dynamic headroom needed.
good listening
Larry
