They don't give any specs into 4 ohms -  https://www.crutchfield.com/S-7pSuvBratEI/p_022AS701S/Yamaha-A-S701-Silver.html   and it doesn't look like a high current amp.  So I would guess unless you don't listen to dynamic music in a small ro...

"I don’t know if they listened to it or not. "  Of course not.  They just don't get that they don't have the requisite knowledge and/or experience (and there's no sense in engaging someone who is at best at novice level in the hobby) to offer anyt...

I've owned a few Thiel models.  The newer ones (e.g. 3.7s, 2,7s) don't seem as sensitive to cabling as the older ones (I've owned besides the 3.7s, the 2.3s and the 7.2s).  In addition, when my friend worked at the high end shop in the early 2000s...

Speakers cables or interconnects or both?  There's some threads here - e.g.  https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/analysis-plus-oval-9-new-v-old

What cabling are you using?  Sometimes the cables can accentuate or increase brightness.  I had a friend complain about that in a system a year or so ago.  He ended up changing the preamp from what I recall.  I did make him something that tends to...

"Do you recall the peak Amperes of the KWA 150SE ? This measurement or Slew Rate are strong indicators on the performance of a Power amp." There are tons of reviews out there (e.g.  https://hi-fi.com.pl/wzmacniacze-testy-lista/590-modwright-kw...

I had a Modwright KWA150SE driving my Thiel 3.7s at one point.  Many moons ago I owned 2.3s and 7.2s after that.  Before the Modwright amp, I had a bunch of Proceed amps (HPA) and Bryston amps (ST and SST series).  I now use a Class D amp (and had... 
Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
That's one of the reason probably 11-12 years back I finally went to file playback.  Different disc formats and I think at one point I had 4 or 5 transports in the main system at one point at the same time.  Then it was universal players (still ha...

Per the pictures and manual, it (the Audiolab) has a repeat disc button both on front panel as well as the remote.

The Audiolab 6000 CDT is supposed to be a great transport.  If I still played discs, I'd definitely consider one.  I still have four Oppo players (sold my 203 about a year back, which, at that point was residing in the upstairs bonus room, which i...

I'm not sure of the exact size but there are charts on the web - e.g. (and I'm sure there are others Herbie's Audio Lab Sound City (which makes outriggers) http://www.soundcare.no/threads.htm

According to the maps (below), it doesn't look like they were hit but the damage was bad in other areas. https://www.athenium.com/news/quad-state-tornadoes/

There's probably some info here about the changes to the later 2.3 tweeters   https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/thiel-2-3-vs-2-4-the-real-difference

Thiel speakers, especially the older models, are the poster children for needing everything right in the chain before them (e.g. electronics, cables) as they tend to be less forgiving than some other brands (e.g. laid back British type speakers). ...
