Girl diagnoses & solves mechanical problem
Bravo Sarah!Hats Off to You!My wife is afraid to walk within 3 feet of my system let alone even attempt to turn it on and enjoy it! She thinks something's gonna break if she looks at to long. I'm a very handy person but I don't like having repair ...

Opinions on the synergy between BAT components
Dave, I just got a VK-3i and VK-200 this week and put in the place of my He-man Krell pre and amps.(KRC-HR and MDA-500's).....Just had to try a BAT combo out for my own peace of mind."WOW" was all I could say for hours, in fact here it is 1:00 in ... 
Stick with.. KMA-100'sMKII or go for KMA-160's ???
I too made the same upgrade with my Thiel CS-3.6's many years ago. I was very pleased with the change over to the KMA-160's especially in the imaging department? Don't know how or why but the sound opened way up and the KMA-160's never ran out of ... 
Best amp for Thiel 3.6 speakers?
I've had great success with the older Krell line / the KSA and MDA series. The least powerful is the KSA-150 and the most powerful & mighty MDA-500 mono blocks. I have all 3 of these rotating in my system which was built around the CS-3.6's...... 
Best speakers for 2000-USED
Whole heartedly agree with Pops & Danheather !!!! Thiel CS3.6 are truely one of the best bargains especially used for $2k. If your room size is medium to large and space permits you can achieve some sonic euphoria. Cable experimentation may be... 
what speakers do the best "disappearing act"??
I recently acquired a pair of Paragon Regents from another Audiogon member......I don't think enough people have ever heard these speakers! So little ever mentioned about them but so much speaker for the money. Paragon gives you the Cardas room me... 
Dynaudio driver needed
Thanks Chuck, I tried Madisound but they don't have any of these drivers. I also tried Solen in Canada,no luck there either. I even sent Dynaudio an email to ask them directly but have not heard back from them yet? 
I normally don't ask for help, but.....

Krell KSA150 or Aragon8008BB
I'd use the KSA-150 first! Detail and Imaging were excellent when I had it paired up with Snell C-IV's a few years ago. Bottom end control is awesome and very well defined. Snell's can get a little loose down low and the Krell brought it right int... 
Speaker Upgrade, Vandy 3a, Thiel 3.6 ect
Mike, I have the Thiel CS3.6's and love them to death but only after finding the right front end to drive them. I'd heard these speakers in Delaware with a Spectral Amp/Pre-amp combo in a rather large listening room..WOW,,did they portray the esse... 
Best Speakers at Stereophile show
For the low price of $1595.00 the Triangle Anthal(spelling?) in Pathos room sounded pretty damn good for such a modest price these days. They were involving to listen to, but then again this was one of the few rooms I actually had a chance to do s... 
Worst speakers at Stereophile show
Doug99, I have to agree with you on almost all of the systems at the show sounding VERY POORLY. But what I'm not sure of,,,,How bad were the rooms versus "HOW RUDE" the N.Y. crowd was. This was my First Hifi show on the East coast and was sooooo p...

Thiel and Jeff Rowland
I don't know if your going to spend what the Rowland 8Ti goes for but that was the amp I borrowed to audition...WOW!!Smooth as butter on almost all recordings,from old to new.Look for a Rowland from '91 to '96 with 150 wpc minimum.Thatis going to ...
