Jazz Recommendations
NewbearSorry for the MUCH delayed response. I have indeed benefited tremendously from all of the recommendations. My collection in jazz continues to expand to this day and I owe many thanks to all of you. Right about the time of my post my wife an... 
Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s
My guess is that the impedance dip is in fact the culprit and must be addressed in spades. I appreciate all of your input – several good suggestions to pursue. 
Sonus Faber Amati Homage versus Vandersteen 5A
What does thiel have to do with this person's question? 
Jazz Recommendations

Bass/Room probelm

I should probably start this thread over given my original lack of information -- the cables are new (10 hours).

Classe preamps

silver vs copper ICs
Massvm good point. I am looking for ICs between all my components. I have a Classe 6 pre, a Cary 303 CD, B&K 442 amp, and Thiel 22. I am not looking to drastically change anything about the sound. My current ICs are musical concept superconect...
