Tuff decision, need help
Oh, I see. So much enthusiasm. The problem is that I am negotiating with a freak, he wants my brand new PSB, plus my Sunfire sub, plus some cash for the Paragon Regent.I also find it extremely odd looking. But if it sounds right, why not? 
Tuff decision, need help
What about a Paragon Regent? It has Dynaudio Contour drivers, and it is supposed to be really good. Would that be a good replacement for my PSBs in your opinion?

I use a Pioneer 563a as the source. Good for SACDs, but poor with Cds. I also produce music, so I use my M-Audio soundcard as source sometimes.I feel exactly what Sean mentioned about the PSB, lacking in definition. I will try to get myself a B&am...

I have the PSBs for over a year. I use Van Den Hul cabling, CS-122 and The Source. My source is a Pioneer 563a (i just wasnt willing to spend more). My previuos speaker was a Dynaudio Audience 120.The speaker has been placed in my room, which is r... 
Thiel speakers... one more try
Louis, good to know you've enjoyed your stay in Brazil, Sao Paulo is a very big city, it has most of the things other big towns do.The Thiels are properly being directed to the churrascaria. You know, I was surprised when comparing the Thiel to th... 
Thiel speakers... one more try
Hey guys, I went to the store one more time, and now I have tested both speakers under the same conditions, with the same electronics.I was terribly impressed with the PSB at first, it gave me all I wanted in terms of presence and bass, plus I lis... 
Thiel speakers... one more try
Thank you for the support.Rtn1, Thiel to me sounded pretty good with electronic music. Just as good as I wanted, and quite more than I ever expected. Plato, good to know the Thiels have a good reputation, I was really confident on that matter.I de... 
Thiel speakers... one more try
Plato, the main problem is that I just won't find another Thiel 2.2 here, or no other Thiel at all, for that matter.I'll probably try auditioning both under the same conditions, as Banksfriend suggested. Jazzdude, I've changed speakers twice in th... 
Thiel Cs 3.6. Outdated?
What would be the fair price for a pair of Thiel 3.6 used? 
Thiel Cs 3.6. Outdated?
its 4 meters per 6 meters. but i plan to expand it soon 
Thiel Cs 3.6. Outdated?
It's a very small room, my bedroom, actually, hungry for bass though. I heard it in a big room being driven by Mccormack combo (DNA 0.5+TLC-1) and the drivers wouldn't move even with volume levels at 60%. Will consider buying it in the future, alt... 
Pre-amp to combo with Mccormack DNA 0.5
I've got a chance to acquire either a Quad 99 pre-amp or the acclaimed Adcom GFP-750 instead. How do those sound? 
Pre-amp to combo with Mccormack DNA 0.5
Thank you for warning me, I use mainly more agressive music, so I could have problems with the passive unit. WHat do you think of Mcintosh C36 or C40 instead? 
Pre-amp to combo with Mccormack DNA 0.5
Moonrat: I wish I could find a good deal on a CJ here, in Brazil there are no representatives for this brand... I'll try to get my best thoughLabtec: I'm considering a passive unit, I think that to get a good Active unit I'd have to cash out $1000...
