| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Sure Prof-I had a wonderful experience w/ the Thiel CS 2.4 speaker, the pre-2.7 model, on a Creek integrated amp. The CS 2.7 rating is not much higher then the CS 2.4. That said, if one wanted to get a Creek or Pass Labs integrated (the only ones ... | |
| transparent cables hello 68Pete-Transparent lover here. While, I have not had the listening pleasure of the newest Gen 5 series, I have had many sessions w/ the Reference, Ref XL, and OPUS lines.Honestly, there is not any difference between the Reference and Ref XL.... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Sure Prof-the only difference between the CS 2.7 vs CS 3.7, is the soundstage. W/ the CS 3.7 it throws a very large, wide, deep, soundstage. This is the #1 reason for the larger room size. It is not a speaker to use w/out high power, high current ... | |
| Best speaker for songs like Heart - Alone Rock-there are 2 paths to choose;since the song is 80's Rock, you can go vintage and look into Infinity speakers- I suggest the Crescendo series.Or, you can buy newer designed loudspeakers like my reference, Thiel. I suggest the CS 2.4 or CS 2.7.T... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older My pleasure Prof-anytime I can turn somebody onto Thiel- it is a good day!IME, the CS 3.7 is the speaker to own, if you have the proper room size and never want to upgrade. In other words, it is "the" last speaker that you will ever purchase.The b... | |
| Need advice on a tube line stage Ja2-great choice on the ModWright, second on the Conrad Johnson. Either one will provide you with the needs of your existing system. Keep me posted & Happy Listening! | |
| What tracks really make your system shine? Falcon-I feel we can all support Pink Floyd 'The Wall' or 'Dark Side of the Moon". These discs are outstanding for classic Rock music. (2) other modern Rock mentions are Pearl Jam 'Ten" and Nirvana 'Unplugged in NY'.My reference disc above these w... | |
| Customer Service Right On! Ricred1-it is important that we post all experiences, positive & negative, when dealing w/ these companies. The way I view it, the gear costs far too much to not receive outstanding customer service after the sell. Pass labs seems to... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Prof-another positive vote for Thiel loudspeakers. These are very versatile models, as you can use, solid-state or tubed gear. Separates or an integrated amp, Thiel will accommodate. Start w/ the model CS 2.4 for openers. I found this speaker wond... | |
| your experience with mod or upgrade companies..... OP-over the years, several modders have left the scene. This is a sad fact, as we need modders. Theses guys had the talent and know-how to make gear better after the manufacturers cut corners, used lesser parts in order to make a profit. To my kno... | |
| Entry level Silent Source Signature speaker cables Excellent discussions guys. If only more people knew about these outstanding cables/cords...Keep the info flowing and Happy Listening! | |
| How do I connect a separate CD transport Sum4jn-do not chance it, either fix the ARC or sell it. ARC can repair/replace the transport-no problem. How long have you owned the CD3 Mk II? When did you purchase the ARC spinner?Keep me posted & Happy Listening! | |
| Traveling never going to happen??? need advice OP-I save all boxes and packing materials- this is me. Offer tomeet prospective buyers half-way from your location. For a really good deal on speakers, I always travel as well. Too many bad things can come from shipping. Happy Listening! | |
| CAV-50 and 804 Diamonds OP-if you enjoy lesser powered power amps from CJ, check out the Classic 60. I heard this power amp mated w/ the CJ ET-3SE pre-amp on B&W 802D speakers. And it drove the hell out of those speakers! A very powerful, little amp, if you will. I w... | |
| Entry level Silent Source Signature speaker cables You have a very nice system -Chuck. Thanks! for sharing. I enjoy reading about the various combos of speakers/gear that jives well w/ SS cable/cords. Are you going to go all- Silent Source? Now, go play some good music! Happy Listening! |
