| BAT solid state or tube? I do live in Alaska .... | |
| BAT solid state or tube? Loonytunz, thanks for your thoughts, which are very relevant (not meaning to exclude PBB and Artg in any way); your experience is exactly what I am seeking. Just wondering, why not sell the 60 & 200 and get the 75se? My impressions of the 500... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? Piega P10s. My previous response was supposed to have "Piega" in the subject line. | |
| Tell me about your sweet spot. Thiels: 8-9' apart, pointed straight ahead or toed in a few degrees (never pointed at the chair). Distance from back wall is about 6'.Piegas: Speakers are new to me so I'm still experimenting with these.In the critical listening position (5-7 feet... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? World class mid/tweeter ribbons. Sweet, dynamic, detailed, airy, effortlessly loud RIBBONS! They're Swiss, and not very well known/visible in USA, but read the reviews. The newer aluminum "C" series has been getting a lot of attention recently (St... | |
| Thiel replacements I agree with almost every point in the messages above. I have had 2.2's (an older design like yours) for about 10 years. What you have described is so foreign to my experience that I suspect something is wrong with your equipment. In my experience... | |
| Tube Preamp with PS Audio P300 I thought I saw on AudioAsylum that Victor K__ said the 5i drew 450W peak, and it won't work with P300. | |
| how many of you are .............................. Don't make your hobby your business, otherwise it becomes WORK. "If it was easy and it was fun, they wouldn't pay you, and they wouldn't call it work." (me) | |
| Which Sony: SCD-1, XA777ES or XA9000ES? Actually, I was thinking "humble" opinion. I've come to realize just about all of the opinions expressed here are humble... LOL! ...ouch, my side....I kill me.... | |
| Sony SCD-1 or BAT VK-D5 / D5SE Wow, not much concensus on this question.Jayctoy, Ed_Sawyer, Bluefin, Jwin, Czbbcl:In what ways are Sony better than BAT (e.g. image, presence, detail, midrange purity....).Thanks. | |
| He said, she said Back in the real world: She:...I feel a 6 month headache coming on.... | |
| Help, too bright I've reduced brightness several ways: transport, power cord, cables & interconnects, power conditioning, tubes, toe-in and sound absorbing gear. I had very good improvements going to a tube preamp.I had amazing, jaw dropping improvements by ch... | |
| Piego P-10 or big Thiels? Thanks to all of you for your comments. Due to location I can't listen to any of these speakers, so your advice is very helpful! OK, any advice on how to choose among CS6, CS7.x, P-10, without listening to any of them? They seem to be equally love... | |
| Martin Logan vs. Thiel Hey Totalmlb - hope you are enjoying your journey. I agree with Lrsky's comments about stage being "completely different." IMHO, the ML image is in front of the speaker, and in your face, the B&W Naut. image seems to be in the plane of the spe... | |
| Thiel 2.4 and 7.2 versus 5i I recently compared 9(?) year old Thiel 2 2's and new Nautilus 801's at a dealer's, running on a Krell FPB600 w/ $8k Wadia 861(?) front end/pre. 1) Wow! I didn't know the Thiels could do that. I've decided to keep them for another year and upgrad... |
