Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference
"I have read about 8-10 magazine/web writeups and it has been highly praised."Name one of those media outlets that ever said anything negative about any Thiel speaker or any product they reviewed. 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Well then I guess we have a disparity of experiences;Hooper a composite of equipment owners opinion makes anything you say as valid and important as anyone's and requires no qualification except that's how you felt, and the more we know about your...

Closing the deal on the location, influenza has stricken the other party delaying our meeting but info will be posted a soon as I can sign the dotted line. 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Hello Mike,So the Dart is equal to the Halcro and Levinson on the Midi Exquisites dynamically? How about the Tenors?Why does your room suck out the frequencies below 30hz? You should be getting into room gain areas there. Did they over-damp your r... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference
Tim,CD's are not recorded bright unless they are top 40 bound and my MLSSA and SoundEasy with B&K speaker measurement systems showed a dip and a rise on the four different pairs of CS2.3's I measured. In room response was ragged because off ax... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Howie,Midi Exquisites can rock, you just need to run them with the right amplifiers. My friend Bob played Creed and Bowie and Elvis Costello with absolute clarity and impressive drive at 110dB at the seating position. The lack of distortion in the... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference
Its pretty simple to figure out how they differ,Just look at the Stereophile measurements of the CS2.3's versus the Soundstage measurements of the CS2.4 and one can quickly see the evolution between the two speakers. The CS2.4 plays with considera...

Is SACD a dead format?
Guys!1. I know CD sounds great, my CD's sound awesome love them, bought about 70 CD's in the last three weeks.2. When I say DVD-A what I mean is audio on a DVD, 2 channel, or multi-channel.3. Danlib has an excellent system, F30 dollar for dollar o... 
Is SACD a dead format?
Why am I always forced to explain the obvious!What is a DVD? Its a CD that holds more. DO YOU OWN A COMPUTER?CDrom or DVDrom? And Danlib what kind of transport does your universal player have? You guys are funny, try thinking a little about the wo... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Don't have to be sorry, but I really felt in my experience with the cables that they would bloat the sound of your system and round it off. I have no knowledge of the Dartzeel and that maybe the wild card in our differing opinions/experiences.Clea... 
Is SACD a dead format?
SACD was a stop gap profit scheme for Sony, they milked audiophiles and technophiles who bought unneccesary equipment and have incompatible software.DVD-A is the future format, always was and always will be. CD is already had its day and if you as... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Howie you don't have to sit in the sweet spot to hear it, it a very obvious coloration of the sound. 2 people sat next to me when we listened to the Maggies and 4 of us were present when the 20T system was being used and in both cases people took ... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
J Tinn, Smearing the leading edge, it's an old cable tactic, perfect for overly bright edgy audiophile systems. Literally removed the leading edge from the sound on the first system listed below.Modified Magneplaner 20.1's (you know the one)and Ae... 
Who makes an active speaker that isn't ported?
"ports are not a bass alignment, they are to release pressure from the cabinet" "Are you saying the ports don't contribute to the/any sound? Do you know anything about this? If so, care to expand? Cheers"Well, I'm repeating what i've been told, th...
