| The best speaker you ever heard? First Hi-Fi I ever heard:LaScalas with old Mac Gear playing Roundabout on a Thorens table/V15 in the early 70's in a dorm room.I will never forget it and nothing will ever really match it.ADS 710 and 810 were great and like another post said,Doubl... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? Isanchez;I am using giant StraightWire Spades into the posts under my Thiels.There is not a lot of room under there and Bananas would not make it.Also the spades were what I had when making the cables.I am able to make a very tight connection also... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? Interesting,I din't realize the cables could not be used when run as Monoblocks.When I said I have been experimenting,what I meant was I am making my own Remote Sense cables.So far I have tried:DNM Reson-2 pairs,one for sense and one for speaker.C... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? I was wondering the same thing,I guess this one is just talked out.On a related note,I tried posting a new topic regarding the use of the remote sense cables but it seems to have not made it through the moderator or something.Many posts seem to en... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? RafaelI was not complaining.Clearly you tried to find this in my post and misinterpreted.I am simply sharing my experience dealing with Spectron through Simon.He was eager to help if needed reasonable service but unable to comment on certain aspec... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? I have spoken with Simon on several occasions about many issues.I have considered upgrading my MusicianII among other things.His response has been uniform that he is not a technician nor a customer service person really and that he just must wear ... | |
| Will adding a preamp dramatically change my sound? I have had it work both ways depending upon the exact components you are working with as usual.Sometimes the Pre-Amp helps,sometimes it does not.You just have to try and see.Some Combinations are better than others and there are so many variables ... | |
| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? Early 70's the last school day of the year some friends and I went to a guys house in a Lutheran Seminary,his dad was the dean of the school.I was caught by surprise by the sounds of Yes-Roundabout through some big NEW Bozak Concert Grands and I h... | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? I am using a Parasound 3500 to drive my 3.6's now.I used a 2200 in the past and have tried a variety of amplifiers to make them get up and go.The 3500 is so far the best by a wide margin unless you spend a lot more money.I have the system right no... | |
| Why is the industry so lame? Interesting thread.I sell & install these soul-less whole house systems every day and have a somewhat different experience and perspective about it.There is little doubt or argument that the state of the High End has been waning since the Mid-... | |
| Anyone know anything about Canton Ergo 100's? SladeCanton should be able to help you with the details regarding these speakers.They are in Minnesota and quite friendly usually.I can't remember exactly where these fit in the line as Canton always has an amazing array of models at any time.The ... | |
| Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6 When will the Madness stop?!?!A friend of mine has a perfect condition Plinius amp just sitting in his basement and I hear it calling to me from here.Luckily so far I have listened to amps so far out of reach I have never really considered them se... | |
| Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6 TomI am wondering at what point you decided to up the anty from your original goal of around $2000.00 for an amplifier?!?Unless I am mistaken didn't you end up spending three times that much or so?I also am curious at what price level did the perf... | |
| two parasound 2200 mk2 or parasound 3500 I will chime in here with one caveat.If you are going to run the 2200 bridged then get the 3500 instead.Parasound advises me that unless they are manufactured at the same run two 2200's may not sound exactly alike.If Vertical Bi-Amping then it wou... | |
| Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6 I can not speak directly to the new mono-blocks with the Thiels.I have intalled a couple of them but they were more for show than for go,if you know what I mean.I feel the other Halo product to be somewhat over hyped and I have not been too impres... |
