| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? I used have a pair of MG1.6's and I drove them with a Krell KAV-250a, which is a very clean and neutral amp. Worked amazing with the Maggie's! Since replaced the speakers with Thiels (lack of ceiling height in the new basement) and the Krell drove... | |
| what kind of discount on demo speakers? It all depends on how desirable the speakers are (the more in demand and more difficult to find used/demo, the more you will pay); how much the margin the dealer has on the speakers as new (the higher the margin, the more the dealer can discount);... | |
| New amp? Thiel... I appreciate the input and the heads-up about the caps. They are fairly recently replaced though, so I should be good for many years to come.One thing that really strikes is the depth and height this amp can re-produce. The Krell was more forward ... | |
| New amp? Thiel... Second day of trying out the Mark Levinson 334 and I think I've found a real gem. The slightly dark (yet detailed) sound of the ML meshes nicely with the extremely neutral Thiel's.Best way to describe it calmness. It just sounds right.Ok... so now... | |
| New amp? Thiel... Ok... The Mark Levinson No334 is a major step forward. Mind you, the Krell isn't bad, just a little too forward for the Thiels. The biggest difference is really how relaxed the Thiels now are.Used to have Magnepans and I would bet that the roles w... | |
| New amp? Thiel... Thanks for all the recommendations. The Krell KAV does have more power than I truly need (yes, nice to have headroom, but still...) and it is extremely neutral, maybe too much so with the Thiel's.I'd love to mate them with a big McIntosh, but that... | |
| Preamp or power amp has more impact to resolution? Unfortunately not that simple... It's a chain from source, per, power, to speakers. And it depends on the speaker load... Very difficult to drive speakers will require the right amp or nothing will sound right. Easy to drive speakers and the pre b... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Where have you been trying to sell the amp? Can't find an ad under your user name here....The high-end market has taken a dump over the last couple of years. Simply, people are more careful with their disposable income (or disposable income has be... | |
| Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's Thiel and McIntosh sounds amazing together.... I would start looking there.Also, I agree that driving the amp directly from the dac might be part of your problem.I do have a pair of Thiel 2.4's driven by Krell. Works well for me.How's your room? Y... | |

| Do Thiel dealers discount? Usually no... but there's always a chance that a dealer wants to shift a pair that's been sitting on the floor as demos, or a pair that was ordered and the person changed their mind. Don't expect much though...I would call the dealer to tell them ... | |
| Boron Cantilever and Ruby Cantilever, Why Ruby? Both Berylium and Boron are toxic, but in two very different doses. You actually do need a certain amount of Boron and you'll get that through apples, leafy greens, grains, certain level in drinking water and/or multivitamins. In large doses, it d... | |
| What of cost goes into manufacturing cartridges? Here's the problem with the question.... you simply can't generalize like that. Very few companies (and none of the big ones) would ever calculate selling price cost up (i.e. calculate the cost of all components, labor, packaging, stocking/distrib... | |
| Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s? Here's what I would recommend (and what I do with my CS 2.4's).... get a good subwoofer (I have a pair of Epik Legend) and only use them with the movies/tv. The 2.4's do have enough low-end that you're not really missing anything and adding a subw... | |
| Thiel 2.4 or 3.6, which to get? Although the 3.6's can go a little deeper than the 2.4's, the 2.4's will be more lifelike and better integrated. It's a truly astonishing speaker! For that price, I would buy them and if you decide down the road that you Woukd like to upgrade to 3... |
