PAD Musaeus vs. Kimber Kable 8tc
auidtioned the Venustas - bought the Venustas 
PAD Musaeus vs. Kimber Kable 8tc
I just demo'd Elementa Advance. Compared to Musaeus it's definitely more open greater transparency while still having many of the midrange and treble qualities of the Musaeus cables. I would say the Musaeus show a smaller presentation while the EA... 
PAD Musaeus vs. Kimber Kable 8tc
On continued listening tonight I am really liking the Musaeus, and hoping from a Agoner conformation that the Venustas wont add brightness but will be more open and more resolving - or is there another PAD (below Venustas) that achieves this. 
Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's
I listen to all sorts really, but if I had to try and narrow it down, I like Miles Davis (who doesn't right?), Pink Floyd, Harry Connick Jr., Norah Jones, Classical, Johnny Cash, Queen, Led Zepplin . . . well all sorts. I've just recently added a ... 
Impedence change with cables and sub
Right now I have the hi level connected and it seems to work pretty wellSo I will stay with that and avoid any issues. Thanks for the help! 
Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
Velocityofhue, right now i run straigt from the source to the amp. Though I would love to add a BAT preamp wouln't I just be adding a sonic flavor to the signal at this point. Assuming the BAT doesn't does help in any other way. One question thoug... 
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
Oh and my living room is 16 x 25 
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... 
Room acoustics
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.
