Excellent repsonses above, I'll only add my 2 cents - these are phenomenal speakers which can support anxillary equipment costing many times more than you'll ever pay for 3.6's even new. My electronics are just past the line of acceptable for these speaks and they can be magical with a good source recording, with a bad recording you get just that, with a good recording you get tonal accuracy that is really satisfying. They are also very dynamic but need lots of power. Any weakness upstream is EXPOSED! I had 3A sigs before and they were excellent but I prefer the Theils - good luck...
Speaker Upgrade, Vandy 3a, Thiel 3.6 ect
I am thinking of making a speaker upgrade. Unfortunately I don't know where to begin.
My budget is somewhere around 2 - 3 k and I am considering buying used.
I currently have Mirage OM-10s driven by a ATI 1505 in a HT setup. My room is problamatic for the bipolar design as one side is open and the other closed.
I don't think I will be changing amps anytime soon, I would wont something that would work well with the ATI, which I have heard is on the bright side. I may also try using the ATI to Bi-amp the front speakers.
I think the Vandersteen 3a Sigs and the Thiel 3.6 may fit into my range (used). What do you think about either of these paired with an ATI?
My pre/pro is a sherwood AVP-9080r but if a decide to bi-amp, I'll be using a Yamaha DSP-a1 as a pre for the front and use the a1 internal amps to drive the surrounds.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Mike
