| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta How about the R3 Meta? They possess many of the LS50 Meta's attributes with greater articulation and volume. I auditioned the R5 and R7 and was left unimpressed. It might have been the associated equipment, but I found the R3 more coherent. That ... | |
| Thiel Owners A pair of PCSes is available in Florida for anyone interested. I am very pleased with mine using a subwoofer. I cannot vouch for this particular seller, though. Question: Did the PCS originally come in a black finish/veneer? | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs Just my 2¢: I auditioned a pair of Sopra 1s using my Luxman 5M20 and a streamer/DAC as source with no preamp. They sounded very nice across the frequency range. I was listening to mostly classic jazz. | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant I am using my mid-level Luxman C-12/M-12 combination. I am in a temporary housing situation, so the full system is still in boxes. Still, thus far I am impressed. To put my choices in perspective, a year or so back I decided to focus on s... | |
| Thiel Owners I finally joined the ranks of Thiel owners with a pair of PSCs. Happy birthday to me! Question: Does anyone know what the screw-in panel on the bottom is for? Is it part of the stand mounting system or only for access into the cabinet? | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! What @bill_k says. The Reference line is expensive, but if you like the KEF sound they are tops. | |
| What do you all think of ADS/Braun speakers? My L1290/2 speakers were very neutral but needed to play louder than I normally wanted to sound good. I also wanted a little bit more high treble. The imaging was very good but the soundstage was not as wide and detailed as I would have preferred.... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Another vote for Sopra 1s. The Kantas are very good speakers, but the Sopra offers soundstage and imaging that the Kanta line simply will not offer. The Sopra tweeter is very good, and the Sopra woofer is very well matched to it. The only thing m... | |
| Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set? Another vote for two subwoofers. There are many good subs from which to choose, but if you want the best stereo imaging then you want two. I have two SVS SB3000s that I like especially for the iPhone app that permits nuanced adjustments. | |
| Thiel Owners There is a set of walnut 2.4s for sale in Trappe, MD. If someone is willing to help get them to me (metro Atlanta area) that would be wonderful, but if you want a pair, this seems to be a nice deal. Boxes, manuals, even outriggers. | |
| Thiel Owners *Sigh* I have been searching for a pair of CS2.4s (or 2.7) within a reasonable distance from Atlanta but nothing—but they seem to be scattered about the northeast and the left coast. Some day. Some day. | |
| Thiel Owners @jonandfamily I remember Audio Alternative well! We both are showing our ages by that reference. HiFi Buys is not quite the same, sadly. If no one locally pops up, I might take you up on your kind offer. | |
| Thiel Owners Are there any Thiel owners in the Metro Atlanta (GA) area willing to let me audition their CS1.x, CS2.x, or CS3.x speakers? My attempt at a brief explanation: I love the wide, open soundstage and treble articulation of my Dahlquist DQ-10s but wan... | |
| Low Cost DACs I recently got the Topping D70. It not only bests my Oppo BDP-105D but has completely changed my concept of how good digital playback can be. Right now, Drop (Massdrop) is offering them for $400. |
