| 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,... | |
| Surround Speaker Question I would disagree with that statement... If you go back to the days of Pro-Logic, yes, surrounds were limited to a point where you could use very different speakers than your L/C/R's. Today, the high resolution formats and the amount of information... | |
| What subs do you think will pair up best? Yes, they will. Honestly, you need to give us more information... pair up with what? And what are you going to use them for? Home theater, music, both? What is important to you? Very deep bass? Accurate bass?This is kind of like asking which car i... | |
| Cary cinema 11a or Krell HTS 7.1 ??? I've using the Krell HTS 7.1 with an Oppo BDP-95 right now. It does sound amazing.When I purchased my pre/pro a few years ago, I did listen to the Cary 11a and although it's a very nice sounding pre, I always felt more "engaged" by the Krell. It r... |
