| Thiel Owners marqmike,Having owned both the 2.4's and now the 3.7's,I would save money and buy the 2.4's!While I do like my 3.7's ,I cant say they are many 1000's of dollars better?The 3.7's play larger because they are.I think some 2.4's with some good electr... | |
| Thiel Owners Check out the picture of the tobacco sunburst 3.7's a guy has in virtual systems,recently added!Talk about a killer looking speaker!Never saw anyone own one of those yet!Very rare! | |
| Thiel Owners I tried my Goldenear xxl sub out with my 3.7's this weekend just to experiment,the combination was remarkable!My setup is in the basement filled with weight equipment and concrete surfaces.Far from an ideal location,but safer from kids and pets!h... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant,I re-did everything again.My 3.7's are with my xpa 1 monos just for 2 channel now. My 805's I'm using for home theater .I had to find a use for the 1.6's so surround rears they are.My rear channel never sounded this good!I feel like I got ... | |
| Thiel Owners Just got a pair of 1.6 for 500$ today to play with!Cant believe how good they sound!They had a few dings in the woofers I pulled out and now look presentable!Best 500 I ever spent!I think I'm going to use them for rears in my surround system.Man,J... | |
| Audioquest 213runnin,I have 2 systems I use regularly,with over 25 k spent.Right now the xpa 5 will have to do with the rocket 44 wires.At lower volumes which I listen to it's fine.I got a deal on the 3.7 s so I went for it.I intend on upgrading the amp soon... | |
| Audioquest AQ fans,what speaker cable are you using?Im using rocket 44 now from type 4.Im seeing a lot of deals on AQ cables both used and old stock. | |
| Audioquest Hifiman5,sorry read your post wrong.Thought you went with Columbias.Music Direct just sent me a sales flyer with some real nice b stock AQ cable prices if anybody needs something? | |
| Audioquest Hifiman5,I'm using Columbia xlrs also.I have not compared them with anything else .I'm using King Cobra xlrs on a 2nd system.Both have performed well I think?At least I haven't felt the need to upgrade interconnects.I don't think I would spend mo... | |
| Audioquest Gdnrbob,thanks for reply!I do like AQ | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Megadeath,Metal Church,Firewind,Dream Theater. | |
| Audioquest Jafant,all is good!Both systems sounding pretty good for now.Do you believe in break in time for Audioquest cables?I think my Thiels are sounding a little better with rocket 44 wires and a big sur off my dac.I don't have too many hours on them yet... | |
| Audioquest So far I'm happy I stuck with Audioqest cables.At least I don't feel taken when I buy them and I feel that I'm getting an honest cable.So much snake oil is out there with different cables an big prices to go with them,it gets kinda scary! A lot of... | |
| B&W 805 Diamonds D3's have to be awesome!Im using xpa 1mono amps with 805d2's and a Goldenear xxl sub.I thought xpa 1's with the B&W s would be a bad match but I'm happy with the sound,I had the amps already.The Goldenear xxl blends great with my speakers.I wo... | |
| Thiel Owners I guess my point was that I shouldn't obcess about my amp choice for now,I'm getting good sound for the time being.I have over 25k into 2 systems that I use often.I just have to be a little more thrifty with my choices as my kids are older now and... |
