| Paradigm 100 vs BW CM9 vs Aperion Verus vs KEFQ900 I have heard the paradigm and b&w cm9 (owned the 703) in casual demos and liked the paradigms better. They had more bass punch and felt more open (less contested and restrained). The highs were a hair harsh but the B&Ws were nothing to wri... | |
| Gone are the days of the great audition. If you are unsure buy used and you can resell at no loss. I bought a pair of thiel 2.4s off of audiogon unheard and they match the user reviews and I was pretty pleased. I would not trust the major publications. I have bought speakers unheard base... | |
| any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen? I know I just like to go home and relax to some good test tones lol...I just love that 80hz tone with its warm one note embrace. | |
| B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's Bo1972,What did you buy after the B&Ws? | |
| Suggestions of integrated amps I had a Peachtree audio Nova and thought it was pretty bad. The volume control was very unbalanced and the sound just average, luckily I bought it for Crutchfield and sent it back before the 30 day trial was up. Try any of the ones from Wyred 4 So... | |
| Computer/DAC combo sugestions I am sure audioengr is right but in the mean time a Mac mini (mine is real old lol) via toslink to W4S dac2 sounds pretty good. You can set the mini to boot iTunes (or other app) on boot up so if you have an ipad/iPhone you don't even need a tv/mo... | |
| B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's I haved owned b&w and demoed most of their 800 line. There are more accurate speakers out there but the 803d and up are a fun speaker. I demoed the Sophia 3 and 802diamond in the same room/system (AR gear) back to back and was more engaged wit... | |
| Thiel CS6 I have out riggers on my 2.4s.... Improvement? They look cool but that is about it. My floor is carpet on concrete. | |
| any one give the Polk Lsi25 a good listen? Muddy and undetailed from the mids and bass (noisy box?) IMO. I have had a few Polk speakers over the years and have always been disappointed. I can't even remember the models but they were one of their best at the time, they were very forgettable. | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker Yeah too much money for a speaker with a 6.5" bass driver... I like my bass. Anyone looking into these should try and demo/buy a used pair of 2.4s before they are all gone. | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker "I think the 1.7 replaces the 1.6, and will cost a lot more."I am sure, seems like used 2.4 would be a lot better deal. At $3000 used price. The 2.4s perform way out of their price range when compared to new speaker prices. | |
| Thiel CS1.7 loudspeaker What is the price?It was a pretty big price jump from the 2.4 to the 2.7. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers; Ported vs. Acoustic Suspension Active is the best way to get bass out of small speakers. | |
| Thiel Acquired by Private Equity Firm Kleinman,I have also had great experience with thiels customer support. I love the think sound and hope they bring out some new speakers. | |
| Thiel Acquired by Private Equity Firm Detoured,Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to see what new products you come up with.7.3 anyone? |
