| Thiel/Crutchfield The point I'm trying to make is that it is terribly unfair to take the time of your local dealer to audition their Thiels and then go home and order them from Crutchfield. Crutchfield is doing nothing for the sale, yet they get the commission. And... | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield Andrewdoan, so you are willing to buy a $5000.00 pair of speakers from Crutchfield sight unseen, sound unheard? That's the other problem with highend-audio mail order. Who in thier right mind would buy something in that price range without auditio... | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield Crutchfield does indeed seem a strange choice of online retailer because they sell nothing to support the purchase of Thiel speakers. They're aimed at the cheap home theater market. Does it make any sense that someone would order a Pioneer receive... | |
| Cardas Golden Presence - anyone familiar? Hifichic, how are the GP and GR the "exact same cable" if one contains one braded shield and the other has two and one sound more open and the other is "a little darker"? Sounds like two completely different cables to me, based on your description. | |
| looking for amp for thiel 2.4 speakers. I agree with lunmanho. The Classe CA 300 is a great amp and probably one of the best matches for Thiel speakers you will find. And now you only want to spend $1500-2000? You should know by now you absolutely cannot skimp on amplification if you're... | |
| Krell kav 250a/3 - Input Mix? Paul,Krell's website has a link to service where you could ask them this question. Go to www.krellonline.com and look for this link. I would be interested to see what Krell has to say. Plus additional posts here from other users would be useful. M... | |
| Replace Krell Showcase Preamp mode with 280P? Tom,I agree that the Showcase was not designed to be a high-end preamp. And I wasn't expecting it be as good as the KRC3. However, what I wasn't expecting in this price range was for it be this poor. Especially when Krell went to the trouble to in... | |
| Krell KAV 250p The 250p allows theater throughput on one input only, single-ended #3. | |
| Replace Krell Showcase Preamp mode with 280P? Hello,I would also like to hear the KAV280p preamp. But I can tell you that I just went from my Showcase Processor's preamp mode back to my Krell KRC3 preamp and I am SHOCKED at how truly awful the Showcase is as a preamp! The KRC3 does everything... | |
| Krell kav 250a/3 - Input Mix? Hello,This is exactly how I am using my Krell KAV250a/3 - single-ended for the center speaker, and balanced for the L & R. Just remember to use the shorting pin for the center channel when using single-ended output. It works perfectly in this ... | |
| Straightwire Serenade to Crescendo comparison I also upgraded from Serenades to Crescendos. The Crescendos eliminate the Serenades colorations (slight emphasis in both the upper bass and upper treble) and improve upon them in every area. The Crescendos are more refined, better detailed, much ... | |
| Thiel owners I forgot to mention in my "review" above, that I heard a pinched quality in the upper midrange, noticable in the upper range of trumpets and violins. And on higher up, the violins then became a little too thin. And not just on solo violin; full se... | |
| Thiel owners I just auditioned the 2.4 in my system. I currently own the 2.2s, but have auditioned the 2.3s and 3.6s extensively in my system (and always prefer my 2.2s, so I keep them!) I found the 2.4s to sound more similar to the 3.6s than to the 2.2s or 2.... |
