Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs
What about Thiel CS6 vs Vandersteen 3A Signature? I have a big room and I'm lusting for B&W 801 or 800 but can't afford 'em right now and B&W 802 seems rather smallish for my 50 sq.m I'm used to the big sound of JBL L150 and I want to keep... 
Pre and power amp for Vandersteen 3A Signature?
If I had to choose between Ayre and Audio Research - what difference in sound should I expect? I mean Vandies are warm and not to fast, so I'm afraid that the tubes would not give them tightness and speed. Also what pre/power amp combo's of both A... 
Thiel 3.6 s and amplifier choices
What about Macs? I have a chance of getting me a used CS6. Which Mac will do 'em justice? 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
My main concern with Vandersteen is their speed and tightness of the bass. If that can be achieved than they could be the ticket for me... 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Theunderlyingtheme, do you have 3A Signatures? They have small-spades connections that most cables with standart spades (not to mention bananas) don't fit at all. 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Out of sheer curiosity - how does Thiel CS6 compares to B&W 802? I can pick up one used for half the price of 802. 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
If you guys have to choose specifically between Vandertseen 3A Signature and B&W 802 (as my wallet begs me to!:)))which one would you buy? 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Budt, the amps were Mac 501s. Perfect match! 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Philjolet, my goal is to choose. I allready like both brands, the sound very different but both great in their own way. 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Would I start the thread if I allready have made up my mind? No. Dynamics are of course important to me, but it was my main concern with Vandies, not B&W. 
B&W vs Vandersteen?
Hmmm, I auditioned 802D 3 times allready and each time they seeemed excellent with the highs and not slow or compressed by any means - quiete on the contrary. 
B&W 800 D or 801 D?
Budt, the new series is allready announced and the 801 is not there. 
Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?
Yes, but Macs don't have 6 Ohm output. 
Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen?
Thanx Theo but it's not only the dealers - when was the lats time you read about a great Mac/Vandy combo here or on any other message board? Mac owners use B&W, JBL, Tannoy, Sonus Faber etc but never Vanersteen while Vandersteen owners use Kre... 
Tannoy Prestige Speakers
I'm worried about 2 things with Canterbury - can they play FAST and punchy when it's needed and that boxy wooden sound that I heard with every Tannoy before. I'm sure they will sound huge and musical but these 2 sins are a big No to me...
