| Power amplifier longevity… thoughts? Thanks for all the suggestions but I forgot to mention that: - I live in Europe (230v / 50-60hz) - my budget is up to €2500 / $2775 Although my main goal is to drive the LRS+, my question is about power amplifiers longevity and the risk of buyi... | |
| Can the Acurus A200 amp drive the Magnepan LRS+ ? Wow! That was indeed a great commitment: 7 channels Magnapan! Thanks for sharing and recommending the Acurus :) | |
| Toe in is crucial I am well aware of the importance of toe-in in some speakers, but I have always preferred those speakers that work better with no toe-in at all, like my Totem Model 1 or Thiel CS.5. | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! In my experience, streamers can be good but don’t engage me as the CD. Not only for the sound, but for the physical aspect (reading the booklet, collecting and organizing them…), for the simplicity within the system (just plug it to the power, use... | |
| Thiel Owners I have the chance to buy a pair of mint condition SCS4T and I wonder if someone can share some users experiences. I have a small dedicated listening room (190 sq feet) and perhaps it can work in such small space. Thanks. | |

| Audio Mirror Tubadour V I have the IsoAcoustics ZaZen II platform under my Audiolab 9000CDT CD transport and it is amazing! Great value also. https://isoacoustics.com/home-audio-isolation-products/zazen-series/ | |
| Can I turn my 2-way Bookshelf speakers 90°…? My Roksan Darius MkIV (from the glorious 90’s) were designed to work like that, in a 90 degree angle. In fact I am listening to them right now, and the soundstage is huge with pin point imaging. Although very tough to set-up, all efforts were rewa... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant thanks :) unfortunately, here in Europe, Thiel speakers were always expensive and a bit rare. But I am still looking for a mint pair. The have my kind of sound without a doubt:) | |
| Thiel Owners I continue to enjoy my CS.5 and still looking for a mint pair of CS1.5 or the more modern 1.6, only to get a tad more bass and grunt… love the sound :) This is one of the most satisfying components on the proud of ownership scale… | |
