| Auralic Aries Mini not connecting... Yes, but when I chose wired, it disconnects completely and then defaults back to wireless within 10 minutes. | |
| Thiel Owners I heard a pair of TT1 the other days I'm really underwhelmed... Even compared to my CS2.4's, they're falling flat. Just lifeless and boring, not "the window into the recording" I'm spoiled with from the traditional Thiel's. If I can find a pair of... | |
| 9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos? Seems like I may be one of the few that actually likes Bel Canto in this thread… I've auditioned the JC1's at home and right afterwards had a pair of 1000M and quite frankly, I preferred the REF1000M's. There's simply NO sonic signature at all to ... | |
| Balanced preamp with HT bypass Oh, the HT bypass doesn't need to be balanced (but it could be, just not a requirement) | |
| Multichannel amp... Long story short, I ended up replacing the Onkyo with a Marantz AV8801 and to gain the front wide (which I'm surprised the huge difference that made!!!) I ended up buying a Anthem PVA7. What an amazing setup this is! The AV8801 is really a great p... | |
| how much did you spend on rear surround speakers? I have a full Thiel speaker set up, so that doesn't come cheap, no matter how much I "bargin hunt" My Thiel PowerPoint rears were $1200, which is probably more than what I should've spent, but sounds amazing and the sound is completely coherent a... | |
| Multichannel amp... Ok, so it's obviously that I wasn't very clear. :-(I'm planning to keep my ML331 for L/R, and add a multi channel amp for all other channels. It would need to be at least 5 channels though (my current set up is 7.2), but a 7-ch would be even bette... | |
| Need advice for HT LCR and HT Processor Upgrade Ouch completely missed that quite important detail.You're right, you're not going to get everything for $3k, but I think you might be able to get a pair of CS2.3's with a MCS1 for that if you look around. | |
| Amp for Vandersteens 2ce sig 2's I've heard the 2CE Sig's with Cary tube amps numerous times and the combination is darn near magical. | |
| Need advice for HT LCR and HT Processor Upgrade I would highly recommend getting a set of Thiel front ends. Either 3 MCS1's (which is what I use for my fronts/center) or a MCS1 for the center and a pair of CS2.4's (or CS2.7's if you're looking new, but the 2.4's are just an amazing value when f... | |
| Thiel CS6 As for center channel, there's really nothing better than a Thiel MCS1 to pair with you CS6's | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Mark Levinson amps works really well with Thiel's. My ML334 and my CS2.4's can really sound magical. I've heard that amp on a pair of 3.7's as well and amazing doesn't even start of cut it...Other amp that I've heard with 3.7's were a pair of McIn... | |
| Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7 As with all Maggie's, you will need room behind them and an amp with plenty of current to do them justice. Also, controlling reflections (room treatment) makes an enormous difference.If you can set up them up properly, your room allows for some tr... | |
| Revel Gem 2 only goes down to 75Hz ? It's not that simple... for example what is slope of the subwoofer and what's slope of the Gem2 crossover? The steeper the slope the quicker it rolls off... And what is the -dB at 75Hz? -3dB, -6dB, -12dB? Makes a huge difference...I bet you'll be ... | |
| What is a minimum room size for 1.7 Maggies? It really comes down to how you are using that room... if it's a dedicated audio room with very little of anything else, then I bet it would sound fantastic with a bit of acoustic treatment. If you need to fit lot of furniture in the room as well,... |
