| Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5 it was some 20 years ago, but my one very notable point of recall on the thiel 1.5’s was their lack of height… seemed to have the soundstage rather low (waist height)I think that those speakers were noted to be romantic. ;)(I would have been spinn... | |
| How many watts?? More information is needed, specifically what are the speaker's rated sensitivity.It is a hypothetical post or a troll post.So I am not sure that more information is need? It is either answered generally and hypothetically or it is not. | |
| Bryston with vandersteen. The two (L/R) channels should be exactly the same.IMO - It would be more useful to compare ^that approach^ to just bridging the amp. Which was the counterpoint I made earlier. I think it is worth trying both your Bridged-mono idea, as well as the ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k I have already disclosed my system in page 1 comments, please read through. Wilson Benesch , Gobels, Stenhiem and Zellatons are under consideration. So exclusively it is down to those 4 ? | |
| How many watts?? If I have a 80 watt stereo amp and I normally listen at quarter volume and never play at levels higher than this. Do I really need 80 watts could I use a 15 watt amp at half volume?My next question if I have speakers that my mfg states needs min 5... | |
| Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5 @jjss49 My 2C have not been overly sensitive to amplifiers. They sound, and have sounded, good with most amplifiers that drove them (PSE, VTL, NAD, PrimaLuna). I only wish that some of that amps lasted longer.I’m sure that the newer Vandys are bet... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k So,If you bought this SOTA Swiss front end new, then what does the dealer recommend? What are his other customers using?FWIW: One of the dealers I use carries the Swiss “Merging” gear, and he is also a Vandersteen dealer.One could probably not go ... | |
| Bryston with vandersteen. Alternatively, one could also run the pair as stereo on each side, with the L/R sides bi amp to the speakers woofer and MR/T bi-wire posts?How much power, or voltage do suspect that they are receiving now?Or how much SPL are they delivering? | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard The Mrs noted that Sarah McLaughlin’s “Arms of the Angels” is viewed by many as a death song, but that she interprets it as a song about drugs. | |
| Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5 Thanks for all the great advices and all seems to steer me to the Vandys' direction which I don't think we can go wrong.You are sort of getting a confirmation bias group… where all the Vandy owners say that the Vandys are great… one should be min... | |
| Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5 While this might not be his forever room, this might not be his forever system either.But it could be.There are some owners of the 2C that have not upgraded their speakers, and they seem to be content with them.I generally have not bought a speake... | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard A few examples come to mind:Immortal Technique “Mistakes”.Dylan “Blowing in the Wind”Hilltop Hood, “Stopping All Stations” | |
| Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5 The “Son is in his 20s” comment, suggests that he may not be in that room forever. | |
| New Set Up I have 35 year old speakers, and while I have a new second hand amplifier, my preamp is also last millennium (‘98).All I know for sure is that it took me ages listening to speakers, and I also had a guiding hand helping (slapping) me out. That als... | |
| New Set Up I have no experience with either of those speakers and see no measured data for them, so I can offer no suggestions other than my opinion that the speakers are THE most important part of the system.Many claim that the room itself is the most impor... |
