| Thiel 3.7 with tube amps and room size OP-the Carver amps is plenty to drive those 3.7 loudspeakers.If my room was large enough, I would not hesitate buying the model 3.7 - since my room is smaller I will opt for the 2.4 or 2.7 model.For a reference, the 3.7 is designed for room(s) tha... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? OP-to date- my reference loudspeaker is the current THIEL line-up. The CS 3.7, CS-2.7 or CS 1.7 is working well.A shout-out goes to the older CS 2.4 additionally.These are outstanding speakers and one would be hard-pressed to do better. Solid stat... | |
| Conrad Johnson Classic Sixty Viggen-the Classic 60 is a sonic match w/ B&W speakers.It has enough juice to make the floor -standers sing.Best mated w/ a CJ ET-3 / ET-3 SE pre-amp.You can use Audioquest or Transparent cable/cords as well.Keep us posted. | |

| What happened to Jfox Here is my take;since the system 'overhaul' many, many things changed. I have noticed in my posting on these forums that it takes sometimes 2 days for your reply to post? The old system was not like this at all. That is just 1 example. I am certai... | |
| Cheapest good sounding dvd player? I love my Pioneer Elite 59AVI and would 2nd the Elite 79AVi. Both can be had for little $$$ and have the best picture/sound for the price. Happy Listening. | |
