Looking to hear from Thor owners

Springbok
Plenty power from the TPA 30 with the Tyler D10's?

My next step is source or amps. What amp did you have before the 30's?

Mcpherson,
How did you like your upgraded Thor preamp?

Mcpherson.....just thought I would give an update on another potential speaker match. I was able to buy a pair of the TPA-30's (locally for great price)....had a pair of them before, but sold to get more power. Now I'm back because I couldn't get the 30's sound out of my head.

Anyway, paired the TPA-30's with the Von Schweikert VR-6 speaker and it was INCREDIBLE. I was using the VR-6's with a pair of the Canary 140 monoblocks (it sounded good) but with the TPA-30's.....WOW! The VR-6's are a good match as they have 96 db sensitivity and the Thor's provide all the power they ever need to rock the house. While the VR-6's are no longer made, if you could find a used pair (or maybe even try one of Von Schweikert's newer models) you may be very pleased.

It's great to have an all Thor system again (TA-1000 Mk 2, TA-3000 Mk 2, TPA-30's)

Best regards,
Dave

Dave,
Thanks for the information.
I recently picked up a pair a the new Merlin TSM-MMM's. I sold my Focals and Velodyne sub to make room.
Let me stress that I am very pleased. This hobby can be so frustrating at times....it is good to know you made a good decision sometimes.haha
The speaker change was huge. I am currently using a 50 dollar dvd player as a source (sold a sony 5400) and i still have an old H/K Citation 16 amp.
I could live with it now as is...so im very excited to know i will be able to make progress with a cdp and amps.

What qualities do the amps help most with?? I plan to get the 30's in the future....
Any thoughts? Jayson

Sorry for overlooking the ? about the upgrade on the TA-1000. It is hard to compare A/B because i changed everything else in my system except the amp.
The new volume control is great for sure. Gave me much more control over lower range as my gain was too high before.
Sound now is very smooth, my issue before was too bright. None of that now. Between the upgrades and Merlins...things are good. :)
