| Better amplification for Thiel CS 1.5 Hi Jakeb3I agree with Glen above, I had a pair of Thiel 1.5's and I used an ARC PS15 pre-amp along with the ARC D-130 and they performed very well. What you do have to be careful of however, is your CD player. These speakers will reveal everything... | |

| Is there a cd player that sounds close to an LP? Hi Johnny MacI'll throw in my 2-cents worth here, only because I used to own the Marantz CD-67SE. I used this unit for a short time with and without the Musical Fidelity DX-10, and this is just a shrill sounding unit, period. I have no axes to gri... | |
| Any experience with ARC solid state amps? Hi CseriksI have had the AR D-130 for several years now and I love them. I have used them with Sound Design 3's, Thiel 1.5's and Harbeth ES-7's and while they have worked well with all they are outstanding with the Harbeths, a speaker that likes S... | |

HELP JedisqueezerI no longer own it but I used to have an Adcom power-amp, which was a good amp, however they nearly all would have a pop in one of the channels at power-down.
