| Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's You might try a McCormack DNA-1 or DNA-0.5. They can be found on the 'Gon for $500-$700 all the time. They have a higher input sensitivity since they were designed mostly for McCormack's passive preamps which should be a plus if you still want to ... | |

| need help with Merlin vsm mme for home theater Tesseract86,The BAM's boost is centered at 35 Hz. I'm not sure what range it operates over (Q) but I would think that your idea of trying the crossover at 40 Hz would be a good starting point.Dick | |
| What is Jazz? I don't normally think of Wikipedia as the definitive source for info but they do have a pretty good description that echoes many of the thoughts already expressed. It also has a darn good timeline showing the evolution of Jazz over the last centu... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Here's a thought. Pick up a pair of Merlin TSM-MXe's for around $2000. These would be a much better match for your S30. Spend the rest of the budget on a SS amp that is a better match for the Silverlines. That way, as Doug suggests above, you can ... | |
| Is upgrading worth it? I'll admit that there are plenty of recordings out there that sound like crap on a high-resolution system. But the really good recordings sound wonderful too. You have to decide where you fall in the "true to the source material" camp.In addition ... | |

| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Dtc,No offense taken. I just wanted to make sure that you understood I was not attacking Sumiko/SF. My comments were just comments (not an attack) and were aimed at any manufacturer that makes a decision not to support gear purchased on the used m... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Dtc,12-05-11: DtcDjohnson54 - This is about grey market speakers, not ones from authorized dealers.I believe I said as much above:Note in the third to last paragraph they say that it has to have been purchased from an authorized dealer not that YO... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Dtc,You may not have seen my original post above but that was my interpretation of the more complete version of what the OP quoted.I certainly understand that it's a company's right to determine how they do business. If they want to honor warranti... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Here's another angle on this discussion. What's a person who bought new SF product supposed to do with it if they buy another SF product? Stick it in the closet? Are all SF dealers willing to take used equipment bought from them back in on trade? ... |
