| Impendance - Resistance & the story of "Z" I am intrigued by Sean's observation that complex crossovers, designed to flatten impedance curves, tend to suck the life out of the music. The man is always loathe to name names, but would anyone care to identify some speakers with very simple cr... | |
| Drums reproduction But in smaller clubs, they may not be amplified at all yet they still fill the room. I think our systems are also be at fault.Good thread, Richardmr. | |
| Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers I bought it as my first AV receiver for a 2-channel HT system. I use it only for audio, not for video switching. It gets a digital source from DVDs but an analog source from my TiVo box, which takes the Comcast digital cable signal. I'm happy with... | |
| Review: Systrum Speaker stands & equipment platform Stand Warren, are you talking about the S.U.P.P.O.R.T. series stands? They are weird looking!Can somebody please help this company put together a decent web site? | |
| Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers SACD does not output a digital signal. You will need to use analog outputs from the Philips for your SACD playback, but for CD and DVD continue to use the digital out. | |
| Panasonic digital amps and 4 ohm speakers I'm also driving Europas with an XR45 and getting very good results. | |
| balanced is inherently flawed As I recall, Ayre literature refers to single-ended connections as "legacy" technology, as in we provide RCA for your legacy components. Charles Hansen is smart guy. Wouldn't it be great if we could get him to join this conversation? | |
| Thiel replacements Basement, can you say anything about the process you went through in arriving at the sacrifice tradeoffs you chose? Where do you begin? | |
| classe ca-300 or bryston 4b sst for thiel 2.4 Your room, with hardwood floors and no rugs, may be contributing to your brightness problem. The 2.4 has excellent bass but it is tight and not bloated or overly warm; you may feel it is too lean. If you have not aggressively broken in the speaker... | |
| Thiel 2.4 & Theta Dreadnaught II combination Pre-A First Sound comes in right under your budget. No remote, but great sound. That's what I use with 2.4's and SS amplification. | |
| Thiel replacements I made just the opposite switch, but to the Thiel 2.4. No harshness whatsoever. If anything, I'd like a bit more treble energy. Now when have you heard someone say THAT about Thiels? | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test That's what Hdm did. :-)I feel like I'm witnessing history in the making, or something. | |
| Favorite SS Amp? Although it's a bit early to find them used, I recommend you look at the Rowland 201 monoblocks. $4700 the pair list, 250/500 watts into 8/4 ohms. They are small (almost tiny, my wife thinks they're "cute") and generate virtually NO heat (they hav... | |

| Thiel replacements How long have you had the Thiel's, Kevin? From your post, I can't tell if you have been happy with the speakers but have soured on them, or if they are a new addition and are not working out for you. Another question: what characteristics of the T... |
