| Customer service? Ditto. I have blown a driver on both a MCS1 center channel and a CS6 and was promptly sent a replacement. Thiel does set the standard in customer service. Try getting that type of service from Krell or some of the other "upper end" companies. | |
| imaging and speaker placement with tv in center I hate to be someone going against the grain here; however, I have never thought of the "golden rules" as having anything to do with imaging. I would suggest prior to even trying to fine-tune imaging, checking frequency respones with a test cd. If... | |
| Any merits of getting a Krell FPB 200 C with my existing KRC I agree with Drrdiamond; I have compared an older KSA to the FPB300 (which I bought). I prefer the FPB. You also get a very sophisticated set of microprocessors that do surge protection, short-circut protection, and will shut the amp down if it ov... | |
| center speaker less than 5.75 inch heigh? I am not sure if you already have left and right speakers by your very limited post. If you do, why would you be looking at putting in another type of speaker that doesn't match the voicing of your stereo setup? Besides to seriously answer your qu... | |
| How important are equal cable lengths? Besides having the time alignment messed up with unequal lengths, you can throw the natural balance of the strength of the signal off. It may not manafest itself in lengths that are similar; but, the bigger the difference in length between the spe... | |
| what happened to power cord review I read in some other thread that it never materialized. Although, we could be talking about two different groups trying to do shoot outs.Gregg | |
| Leave it on or turn it off? Glen, I think the best solution is to have an amp that has a standby mode. My Krell FBP300 only needs 2-3 songs before it starts to sound its best because the main circuits that affect sound remain powered in standby. The other less important area... | |
| Speakers recommendations when placement is an issue I agree with what Vince is saying. You are getting yourself into a situation where you have to ask yourself what you can live with and what you can live without. You will be able to get by without a good soundstage and imaging if the sound is smoo... | |
| Krell , Martin Logans Mark Levinson? Dan, I have a Theta David transport, Krell AV Standard, Krell FBP300, Thiel CS6 set up. I have been really impressed with Synergistic Research Designer's Reference interconnects throughout (I am using active shielding). I agree that you may never ... | |
| Placebo Effect...a good thing? Hueske, two comments: 1) You have excellent writing skills. I enjoyed reading your post. 2) You hit the nail on the head. If your deriving pleasure from your purchase and it makes you want to listen to more music, who cares if you can prove it is ... | |
| Skeptical no more I am a fan of the "cumulative effect" theory (maybe it is just my hypothesis!). I believe that after reaching a certain level with your system, many small tweaks can add up to a nice gain. If you put a $2000 pc in your system, you may not even not... | |
| Improving imaging I just went through this with my speaker cables. I am thinking of switching to Synergistic Research cabling on the stereo part of my home theater. So, after changing to my rear S.R. cables to see how they sounded on front, I was amazed at the bett... | |
| CD Transport for the next 10 years..... I would stick with Wadia, Theta, or Levinson. I have heard them all and owned the first two. It is really hard to beat the resell value, the build quality and more importantly, the sound. So, if you don't make it 10 years, you won't eat too much d... | |
| Dealers and changing product lines I have a new hypothesis about this (at least it is new to me). I believe if sales are slow, by dropping the line the dealer has the luxury of selling stock at a discount--something they are unable to do by contract with the manufacturer. I bought ... | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade Another thought Gunbei is to clean the connection. Perhaps the person you bought it from was using the XLR output and hadn't used the connection (RCA or BNC) that you are using. A dirty connection could definitely give you below par performance. A... |
