| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker The list price is not officially released, so everything at this point is somewhat of a guess. All media coverage so far has a price just shy of $5500, so I think we can assume that the price will around that.My post was based upon that assumption. | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? You may want to add BAT pre amps to that list. Krell's really shine when everything is fully balanced. The BAT pre's tend to be a smidgen darker, which I think would work fantastic in that set up. | |
| Your experience with Thiel 3.6 Great speakers that with the right equipment and in the right room can be absolutely magical. But that exactly it, they are very revealing, which is good for music, but very challenging for the equipment... basically, you will need a good source, ... | |
| Thiel CS 3.6 amplifier selection Monarchy SM 70? You'll find many more choices at a $2000 price range than you will at the $1000 price range... Thiel's are a two edge sword... (and yes, I'm a Thiel owner, CS2.4's), they reveal lots of details, and well, they reveal a lot... For music this is goo... | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker The 1.7's sound amazing, really, really nice. BUT, the price is quite high... and the problem Thiel will have is that they've been making great speakers for years. At that list price (and the market price will more than likely be very close as wel... | |
| IC to mate with oppo 105: mostly 2 channel I'm using Cardas from my 95. 300B for the 7.1 out and Golden Cross from the XLR stereo. In my room and system (Thiel CS2.4, Mark Levinson ML334 and the current pre/pro being used, a Krell HTS7.1), the Cardas just tied it all together nicely. | |
| Oppo BDP-105 vs OPPO BDP-103 HDMI OUT Was your screen (TV/projector) calibrated with the 83SE before the mod? If so, that would make perfect sense that you get a better picture with a modded 83SE than with the 103. Otherwise, the video processor in the 103 is superior to that in the 8... | |
| Another what pre.. A few weeks and no response... Anyone?? | |
| Oppo BDP-105 vs OPPO BDP-103 HDMI OUT Unless you are going to use the analog outputs, they should be identical through the HDMI. The power supply really makes the difference for the analog. | |
| Center Channel for Thiel CS 3.5 Stereo System The best center would be Thiel MCS1. A very inexpensive subwoofer that works really well with Thiel is Epik Legend (I have a pair of those with my 2.4's, but I only use them in HT, never for stereo) | |
| help on picking new old processor please... A Krell HTS5.1 or even better HTS7.1 would do it. They both sound amazing! | |
| Krell HTS 5.1 vs.7.1 for 2-channel only I have the HTS7.1 and it does have a VERY good 2-ch analog preamp section. From my understanding of the 5.1, it's close.Why do you plan to use the HTS' as a dedicated stereo pre amp? Wouldn't you be better of selling the HTS' and use that money fo... | |
| CD Transport for Rega DAC? Look for an original Rega Planet. Excellent transport! | |
| Older Def tech Powerfield subs... PF15, PF1500, PF18 and PF1800 were all sealed. And yes, they did add a LOT of weight to movies, but they are most definitely not fast enough to blend with Thiel's or Magnepans (I've had/tried both). For a dedicated home theater, they are a very go... | |
| Thiel 2.4s vs 2.4 SE sound quality? I was contemplating exactly this when I bought my Thiel's last year. In the end, yes, the SE's are a little better than the standard 2.4's, but only by a very small margin; I just could not justify the additional money.... More than anything else,... |
