| Tool to create professional IEC chassis cut-out... I just put an IEC socket on my satellite receiver using a dremel. I used a slide in IEC socket and when it popped in none of my cuts were visible and other than the fact that I cut through some wording it looked just like it was meant to be there.... | |
| Best speakers for around 1000 Thiel 1.5s. High WAF because of their elegant design. leo. | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers Tru, I own Thiel 1.5s and a REL Strata III and put in the Bob Marley box set disc 4 right after my other two favorite albums when I got them. Sent shivers up my spine. It's not rap but reggae leaves a bad taste in most audiophile's mouths too (I g... | |
| Rel Storm 3 with Thiel CS1.5's ? I'm not sure I like the Golden Flute concept. I wonder what Jim Thiel would say about them. The Strata III integrates seamlessly and provides the .1 channel at the same time. The Sound Anchors increase the size of the soundstage. Granted the two c... | |
| Digital front end for Bryston/Thiels?? Have you tried MIT cabling to reduce the brightness? I liked the way a few of the CAL cd players sounded on my Thiel 1.5s and Adcom amp. Haven't bought one yet but will soon. leo. | |
| Rel Storm 3 with Thiel CS1.5's ? The REL subs are awesome. I have a Strata III mated to my 1.5s and it's perfect. Didn't take me nearly as long to get it integrated because I followed everyone advice on Audiogon. :-) I think your room would like a Storm better though. You could a... | |
| Favorite HT demo scene from a movie? Thanks everyone! It's gonna take me a while to look through all those. :-) leo. | |
| Power cable upgrades, or Power conditioner? I think you should get the power conditioner first. Since you have "upgraded" cables I think getting cleaner power for your cables is the first step. leo. | |
| Quest for Audiophile Zen Wow. Really don't like the Thiels, Asa? Are Coincident speakers as clear as Thiels for the same price or lower? I'm just curious. I wouldn't give up my Thiels for anything for many reasons, clarity being one of them.Thanks, leo. | |
| ACI Titan II vs. Rel Storm III If you have a home theater I would say just because of the way the REL hooks up you'd want it. It mixes both the .1 signal and the speaker level signal so you get all the bass not one or the other. My $0.02. leo. | |
| To turn off or not to turn off You should see if it sounds better to you. My Onkyo receiver absolutely had to stay on all the time to sound right. My Adcom amp definitely likes to be on for a few hours before use and my Rotel preamp doesn't sound noticably different either way.... | |
| REL Strata III and Strata II differences? For me the power difference is important because I can't put it where it would like to be. If I had a Strata II it wouldn't get loud enough. If you can position it in a corner like the manual recommends in a small to medium size room the 60 watts ... | |
| Low and High Level Inputs on REL Subs For anybody who's interested you have to call Kathleen at Sumiko 510.843.4500. This is way too complicated for me to explain well but I get it now and the answer is good. There is no need to switch anything between HT and Music with their setup if... | |
| Low and High Level Inputs on REL Subs I had to ask Sumiko this question too. Here's their response:"A lot of people find it a confusing concept that it accepts both high and low level. The woofer does not "decide" which one it uses, but simply plays whatever signal it is given, which ... | |
| Quest for Audiophile Zen I had an awefully bright system with Thiel 1.5s. Two things did the trick and a third is on it's way. 1) Like Mcne said, try repositioning your speakers and avoid toe-in. 2) Try MIT MH-750 speaker wire and MI-330 interconnects. The newer MIT inter... |
