Thiel 2.4 vs 3.6 vs cs6 - Opinions?
Went back to the 3.6 - Sorry I ever sold them originally -They are a steal at current used prices- They have dynamics that that my previous 2.4 couldn't provide -The 2.4 are good, however I prefer the deeper bass and extension of the 3.6 - It trul... 
Signal Cable or Audio Art Cable for best budget...
Now try a pair of signal cable silver resolution - Ive never read a bad review of them... 
Thiels or Von Schweikerts
Ive had both the Vr4jrs and Thiel 3.6,and 2.4 -I returned back to the 3.6 (should've never sold them) and have been smiling ever since -The 3.6 has more dynamic range than the jrs or 2.4s -All are good speakers, however, you will not see me going ... 
VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room
I would go with the SRs -The jrs would be a little strained in a room that large -at loud volumes the jrs might "bottom out", which happened to me on a couple of occasions... 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts

Thiel CS3.6 and Aerial 10T Comparison
I would audition the Aerials before I purchased them - I was disappointed by many other speakers (trying to be nice here) before I returned to the 3.6 - They allow me to really enjoy the music, without having to worry about the "next best thing", ... 
Thiel SCS3
Wait for one to come available used - I replaced my LCR-15 with the SCS-3 (see my system) and was very pleased -It really helps round-out the front three...I enjoy listening to music more on surround sound settings (on the ead pro.) vs 2 channel -...

Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective
Not just "mint" but "minty" - Item usually has 2 scratches, a couple of "minor dings", "low hours" and always in my "second system"... 
Where can I find replacement Velodyne HGS Sub amp
Do you remember the phrase,"planned obsolesence?"(Sp?) Velodyne must've learned from the general motors school of engineering - My amp went out after 4 years-The only amp Ive had a problem with in my 30 years in this hobby. 
Looking to change from Thiel 7's
I would find the largest, baddest disco speakers available-I would start with Cerwin-Vega and also look at Bose, just to be sure... 
Comparison between Thiel 3.6 and 2.4
Ive had two pairs of 3.6 and a pair of 2.4 -Both models are absolutely excellent and are a great buy used...The 3.6 is about 1200$ cheaper used but will go much deeper in bass performance and overall soundstage, thus making it a better buy (MHO) T... 
Thiel 1.6 vs. 2.4 vs. 3.6 using NAD c372
More power is needed to let any of these three really breathe - 200wpc via Krell, Levinson, Coda, EAD etc. will do the trick quite handily -Your NAD will work but needs more ummph -The 3.6 needs the most power, however you will be rewarded with mu... 
Best 1m Interconnect under $100

Thiel 2.4 vs 3.6 vs cs6 - Opinions?
