tomthielMany Thanks! for the excellent commentary of your life as a young Man.No, I have not ridden a wild horse. A Quarter horse, yes. Beautiful creatures indeed. I own many books on the Grateful Dead and in their early days, lived on a commune ranch as well. Oh the stories and high times! Nothing was left to the imagination. Those guys had folkie aspirations combined with living in a hippie/counter-culture realm.
Happy Listening!

Thank You - Guys for keeping the discussions lively and engaging. There seems to be a few of you trying to sell an extra pair of speakers (CS2.7 and CS3.7 models). I concur, in that, these specific models fly under the radar from main street. Each loudspeaker is a musical treasure for sure. Each model is for historical significance as well. Vintage all of the way up to the CS 3.7, something for everyone's taste.Happy Listening!

A Bryston/Thiel combo are sonic matches. Careful cabling selection and you will be musically rewarded. Have fun, enjoy the journey.

the RUSH catalog has been a victim of several re-mastering batches over the years. The first kicked off in 1997. These are not well-done according to the experts (CD). Next wave was in early 2000's. Hit-and miss titles.Next wave in 2009-2011. Again, hit-and-miss. There are "gold" discs via MFSL. There are 35th anniversary / 40th anniversary editions. Sector re-masters boxed sets. I think that I have them all accounted?
To my ears, seek out the original Mercury USA/German "atomic" CDs.Very affordable, easy to spot on eBay or Amazon. These will also refer to PDO or all silver faced (including the hub) discs- I own these ones.
Hope this has been helpful.
Happy Listening!

My pleasure - thosb good to have you here. A very nice system w/ Krell/Thiel combination. I have found Audioquest cabling to compliment our speakers as well. I look forward in reading more about your system and musical tastes. Happy Listening! |

Very informative information - batmanfan. Bryston and Thiel are a sonic match. Good to read about another brand of cabling that mates well with our loudspeakers. I have only heard a few entry-level Straight Wire cables from a few years ago. I wish that I had written down those models at that time. Happy Listening! |

Thank You for your continued DIY approach towards improving our beloved loudspeakers. Your hard work has not gone un-noticed.

Much Thanks! tomthiel
I certainly would not say your experience is thin nor dated. There is knowledge on board. Perhaps a little dusting of the mind's attic is in order?Reminds me of The Grateful Dead tune, "Attics of my Life".Happy Listening!

Thank You for the follow up. Your room/space is pretty close to the image I had pictured- a cool lab of sorts. Hope you are well this Spring day.
I look forward in reading about your continued experimental successes.
Happy Listening!

Cables are indeed a critical component of any system. We are beginning the discussion of internal wiring per Mr. Tom Thiel. Much more to discover and contribute in this regard. Should you have any insight feel free to post.Keep the fire on the friendly side.Happy Listening!

geoffkaitYes, I am the facilitator here. I built this thread as a Thiel loudspeaker fan for other fans and owners. If you have done nothing wrong- no worries.Happy Listening!

Well stated - tomthielit is an engaging audio journey. I look forward in your findings from research, prior knowledge and experimentation. Exploration is key. Hope you are well and gearing up for Summer.Happy Listening!

Nice catch! Hopefully those 3.6 speakers can find the next good home.

Good to see you- arvincastro Baltimore is a great city for Audio and Jazz music. Denver will offer more audio shops in its general area, not far from Colorado Springs/Boulder either. Much Thanks! for sharing the updates in your system as well. Hope you are well and gearing up for Summer. Happy Listening! |

Outstanding! tomthiel Thank You for the update on Clarity Caps and the like. Hope you and Rob are having fun on the XO project. Good to read that you found a repair shop for your Classe' gear, restored to healthy status. No doubt that you have assembled a very fine team to tackle this project that will benefit us all in the coming months. Keep researching, testing and writing.
Happy Listening! |
Good to read that your speakers found a new home- ronkent. Maybe the gentleman from OH will join us here and talk about his Audio journey. My interest is certainly peaked owning both CS 1.6 and CS 2.7 sets of loudspeakers. I know that you will continue to enjoy the CS 3.7 speakers. Happy Listening! |
2nd Note - ronkent
seek out the original RUSH discs on the Mercury "Atomic" label.Additionally, most fans like the Mobile Fidelity (MOFI) Gold CDs.I cannot speak for the remasters, other to report, that this catalog has been remastered several times over. There are even a few titles on SHM-CD imports.
Keep me posted as you find the perfect set for your ears.Happy Listening!

Excellent idea, 5 favorite albums - ronkenthere are mine;Jamie Cullum - Twentysomething (2004)The Beatles - Sgt Pepper (1967)
The Moody Blues - Days Of Future Passed (1967)
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1966)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (1959)
this will get the discs spinning anyway.Happy Listening!

Nice list -Arvinkeep me posted on any Audio shops that you visit there in Denver and surrounding areas. Happy Listening!

Good to see you - jonandfamilynice list and yes, it was a tough decision to come up with (5) albums.Happy Listening!
|
Nice list - ronkentI concur about "Tango in the Night" being an excellent CD. I will have to check out the remaster, as I own, the original 80's CD. What year is the remaster?
Happy Listening!
|
Thank You - ronkentlooks like the FM disc is an import, I find most import CD(s), do sound excellent indeed. A fave RUSH album? No, I like all of the 70's up to the mid 80's. If you do not own "Chronicles "2-CD set, this is an excellent place to start, unless, you want those individual titles.
Happy Listening!

Nice list - thielrulesbig Doors fan here as well. L.A. Woman was the curtain call for the band and a killer album. Happy Listening!
|
Yes, that is a nice copy- ronkent.as you can see, the prices vary depending upon condition. Look for the original 1990 2-cd set. Mercury/Anthem Records label for America and other imports.'Happy Listening!
|
My pleasure - ronkenthope the info has been helpful to you. Keep me posted on the discs that you decide to purchase, add to your collection.Happy Listening!

Good to see you - dinopau Much Thanks! for the update. Hopefully your tech in Italy, as well as, Mr. Gillum can get your speakers back on the EQ track. Continue to keep us posted on this development. Happy Listening! |
|
Check out U.S. Audiomart for a sweet pair of CS 3.7 Les Paul Edition loudspeakers. Hope these guys find a new home. Happy Listening! |
Much Thanks! corvette01 I am sad to see them go away from you. On the flipside, a new home is in order. Are you going away from from Stereo/2-channel?
A pair of 1.6 or 1.7 would be a nice downsize. Perhaps someday I can build a youtube channel in partnership w/ some of you other fans. Good Luck in the sale. Happy Listening! |
