| Thiel Owners Oh to have a few million to resurrect THIEL to its Glory Days, now with Tom THIEL at the helm. Sigh.....Larry Staples | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? honashhagen,Many years ago Adcom had a pass thru line stage, touted as no coloration. I tried it with many amps. It did not seem to impart any color to the sound, yet something imho was missing. Well, not just imho... something was missing. The dy... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? There are way too many prejudices in High End Audio... i.e. 'Mine is great, yours isn't'... Ignore anyone who says Mac isn't good gear. I had the great fortune to go to the Mac Factory in New York and build a piece. All hand crafted beautifully wi... | |
| Magnepan 3.7i vocals sound harsh All statements are suspect because I haven't heard the system personally johnto.I currently own the 20.7 loudspeakers and have known of, owned and/or sold Magnepans since 1983, off and on.Their core sound is smooth, very much so. How much power, w... | |
| Thiel Owners Forgot this. The CS5 dropped to about 2.2ohms if I recall. The design philosophy for bass in the 3.7's was very similar.Larry | |
| Thiel Owners tmsrdg,This is an old memory so forgive any misstatements. I remember talking to Jim and Tom about their design work on the CS5 Loudspeakers. One issue, and a large one, how to pull the amount of current from the amplifier to adequately make the b... | |

| Magnepan Owners bluesy,I'm not sure. I am ordering that kit. Are there options? | |
| Magnepan Owners bluesy41,I checked out the site and am ordering the kit for my 20.7's. I suspect it will make a difference for me... maybe because I love placebo effects, lol. Seriously, in my own experience everything matters in audio, whether it's a good change... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? I have not read all the posts so forgive if I repeat someone else.Having owned many types of loudspeakers for the past 40 years, I've always enjoyed the near field listening position. So, I'm not sure that the 'smallish room' you have couldn't wor... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant,I currently own a pair of Magnepan 20.7's. My amp is an LSA Audio Statement ... from the LSA Group that I founded in '06. 150 watts per channel into 8ohms, doubling into 4ohms and almost doubling again into 2. Has a tube pre section and is ... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,They were indeed Brazilian Rosewood... you picked the pair personally.I requested a bold pair with great patterning. You chose this pair because I THINK (29 year old memory) that this pattern had 'great cathedral pattern? No, I sold them abou... | |
| Thiel Owners Typos the bane of my existence. | |
| Thiel Owners jayfant, et al,I owned one of the first pairs of the CS5 THIEL Loudspeakers. I've always wondered what Jim could have done, cost no object to the crossover of that wonderful speaker.Massive air core pure air core inductors, maybe Mundorf caps. Wow... |
