YG Acoustics or Dynaudio
"Based upon the replies am I to believe that people think either of the speakers he mentions would work well when place 1 foot from the rear wall?"No speaker will be best that close to the wall. The mids will rap around the speaker and hit the bac... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Musictime, Thanks for the kind words about my review. I was not sure how people would react because of the strong stance I took, and rather harsh comments I made, but they were from the heart and how I really felt. I was not ready for the number o... 
YG Acoustics or Dynaudio
I have not heard either of these speakers, but what is your price range? It just seems like two odd choices because of the price difference (Carmel=$18,000, and C1=$7500 I believe).Also there is a pair of YG Kipods on Audiogon for $16,000 right no... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Musictime,I wrote you up a review of my demo but it ended up being three pages long and I could not post it as a new thread....I e-mail it to you instead. If anyone else wants to read my BS about the Sophia 3 vs 3.7, just send me an e-mail, and I ... 
804Ds and bass performance
PSB Synchrony One and Thiel CS2.4 can be bought off of Crutchfield and both will out perform the 804d. They have a 30 day return policy on all their products (call them to make sure). You just need to pay the return shipping if you don't like them... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Musictime,All of our choices are more personal at this stage in the game than anything. I demoed the Sophia 3 and Thiel 3.7 in the same room same system yesterday for about two hours.... I pretty much feel the same way as the original poster but m... 
Interested in Focal Scala Utopias
Wow Bar81 great looking system! I bet it sounds as good as it looks. 
804Ds and bass performance
I have used B&Ws in the passed and move on because of the poor base performance. The 804D/s are going to be thin in your room and are thin IMO regardless of the room. There are speakers that go a good bi deeper with more output and control for... 
Wilson Audio- The rest of the story
Ricred1,Thanks for the information. I am interested to hear you coments after they break-in. 
Wilson Audio- The rest of the story
"I think it is great that Ricred1 took the time to follow up and share with us the outcome. "Yes I agree, and attitudes like French_fries only hurt this forum. I have no problem with different opinions but the Ricred1 was not asking for them.Ricre... 
Best Subwoofer you've ever heard???
I have heard a few good ones but JL audio stood out as on of the best sounding. It lacks some integration features that other subs have but once setup it is quick, clean, and powerful. I saw som one mentioned Thiel. Thiels subs are very good but m... 
Dr. Dre Beats
WOW 90db in the background!!! Get IEM and save your hearing.... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Well here is a shot list of great $5000ish speakers. I have included some "expert" reviews... if you don't want to trust my opinion. So here we go flame suit on. Thiel C2.4 (price just raised from $4900 to $5900 last month)"The Thiel CS2.4 is a gr... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Ketchup,I do not agree with price point shopping for hi-fi... This is one market you do not always get what you pay for... I can think of at least 5, $5000 or less speakers that would out shine LOTs of $10000-$15000 speakers. 
These new POLK LSiM's look tempting
I don't like it when brands compromise thier design making the speakers thin.... the woofers....But nothing against Polk or their sound, just a general statement.
