Sub question for my system
I just purchased the R-328 today. It has some similarities to the Vandersteen such as a hi level input that comes off the amps to help match the sound to the overall system. I hope is sounds as good people say! 
Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
What benifits would adding a preamp be? I would think it would only add the new preamps sonic signature to the sound. I suppose this could be good or bad - depending. 
Sub question for my system
Im liking the concept of the Vandy subs, but Im a bit confused. Is there a crossover you need to buy? Based on their diagram it looks like the leads come from the amp straigt into the amp of the Vandy? Is this correct? If so does this change the l... 
Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
I agree with your assesment Drjay. Im using my NAD M51 DAC as preamp straight to my Parasound Halo A21 right now. The sound is not bright at all on good recordings and is VERY open and clear. I have downloaded several albums from HDtracks.com and ... 
Room acoustics
After rereading your post (Rrog) is see you might be meaning ditch the Thiels for some monitors due to the back wall issue. If only I had that kind of money!! haha. No I really like the Thiels, I will just have to move the speakers out when I want... 
Room acoustics
I think you misunderstand my situation. My Thiels are in the living room (large room) and my Vandersteens were in a small bedroom (12 x 12), though I have brought my Vandys into the living room for comparison. On my system and my particular set up...

Room acoustics
ooooooh, WOW, my apologies, that was from a long time ago when my audio direction was different. I had forgotten completely about that post! No, no, this is a separate situation. I still have those speakers and audio set up, although they are unus...

No I'm not the guy with the vandersteens or the 12 x 12 room. Not sure where you got that. I thought if there was an absorptive material behind the speaker it could stop some high energy reflections and maybe bell that way but I wasn't sure. 
Line level Cable selector for subwoofer
I'm going to try a SW4 Stereo Input Switching Control from Goldpoint. A bit pricey but seems well built 
Need understanding on amperage
the 60 amps is stated under "current capacity" under the specifications section on their website. 
Need understanding on amperage
Thanks for your responses. Makes complete sense, thanks for using small words:) 
Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's
Well this a21 sure is a sweet thing! I haven't heard umpteen thousand dollar amps on my system to compare, so maybe ignorance is bliss but by my ears it doesn't take any wrong steps that I can hear. At least no major blunders. I've recently switch... 
Parasound Halo A21 - Power conditioner?
Well I tried, and almost immediately the sound was better. Is this a pschoacoustic trick of the mind. . . maybe. I'll experiement again tonight and do some A/B'ing. But initial impressions are that strait into the wall did sound better with more d... 
Parasound Halo A21 - Power conditioner?
Why shouldn't one use a conditioner on amp?
