Hi all. I was looking into upgrading my crossover. I opened up one of my speakers #294.  And found this inside.  Not sure how to proceed, I was just going to upgrade 3 caps in the tweeter/mid section, but it looks like there are several cap upgrad...

Jafant - a meet and greet would be great.   I first heart the Thiel 1.6 in Atlanta with  BAT, Ayre and VTL equipment, all of the combinations sounded great.

Jafant - yes I am in Chattanooga, if you are nearby you are welcome to come hear my setup   oblgny - the setup you have now seems like it should be pretty fun, i see why you are not in a hurry to upgrade, i used to use a rel storm III with the c...

oblgny - there is a set of CS3.5 with the eq at College Hifi in Chattanooga. I listened to them last week with a Mac amp, the eq was not hooked up but I will try go try to hear them again with the eq just out of curiosity. They sounded great, very...

Well, I got the 2.4s, it was a whole day a driving to get them. Hooked them up and one speaker had one tweeter/mid unit not functioning.  I auditioned these in a odd shaped untreated room, so It wasn't obvious to me one driver was broken.  Kind of...

jafant,   I am using a Coda amplifier with an Ayre preamplifier and for sources I have a Meridian CD Player and Pro-ject Turntable, most of my music is on CD. Together it all sounds very nice, with tons of detail and sound-stage.  I have a dynau... 
Meridian 588 vs Schiit Modius
Everyone, Thanks for all the responses, I may play with some older dacs or look for maybe an ayre will pop up. I will probably hold on to the 588, I was hoping there would be something out there that would be a significant upgrade, but maybe that ...

I would love to get the 2.7 or 3.7 model in the future.  The other Theils I have demoed are the 3.5 and 3.6, which were nice in their own ways, the 3.5 was maybe too flat sounding, not in a bad way but more like gigantic studio monitors. I liked t...

Does anyone have a comment on the CS6 vs the CS 2.4, both available nearish to me, the CS6 seems older and much larger, but from the comments goes much deeper. I am just curious what some other members think of the upper range  I have the cs 1.6 a... 
Good used Pre-Amp? Price Range $1500.00 to $2000.00
Hi Goldhawk, I have a sonic frontiers line 1and I was already tempted to try a BAT. Now I am more curious ....-v 
Tube Phono Stage
I have a Parks Budgie, it was a big upgrade over an art dj. Changing the tubes out makes a noticeable difference in my system. I am running some older amperex tubes. I tried sovteks, jan phillips, and EH. I dont really like the EH in anything, but... 
Opinions on Upgrade Path
Is there any place you can take your amp to try with different speakers? Or a friend with larger amp to test your speakers with at home? The creek is nice and so are your speakers but maybe not the ideal match, you could try a cheap pro-grade crow... 
Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp
I vote for a cj-mf2500a or a coda 
Odyssey Audio Stratos v. Musical Fidelity A3cr:
it depends on your speakers,  the stratos will have more power,  
A3cr or AES DJH?
I had the a3cr pre and power amps, and switched to a sonic frontiers line 1, which to me sounded like an upgrade.  I enjoyed the combo and would be tempted for the AES tube pre over the matching pre just for the fun of it. Since I have not heard t...
