Anthem 225 for thiels 2.2: overkill ?
There is no such thing as too much power for ANY Thiels. 
AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts?
Purk, I did like their slogan "Our Tube is bigger than yours". They were getting some very nice staging and presence from the venerable Vandy 3A sigs. Some people commented they thought the display should have used "better" speakers but I agreed w...

Tom, No problem. Sorry I had to re-schedule the day of listening. Look forward to hearing the Carmels sing. 
AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts?
Rockadanny, The Napa room was very good. I liked the approach which was " Turn any 100 sq foot space into an acoustic oasis ". The aesthetics were a bit on the over modern ( the lines and curves, not the tubes) for my taste but the sound was very ...

Another thumbs up for the Carnegie room. The rep. was very kind and I thought the 6k floor standers were a huge bargain. Supervox also stood out as a great value at 2K. I thought the MBL guys were very open to musical suggestions. I heard them off... 
How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff?
Sounds_Real, We are talking about a similar speaker. The SC-IVA was John's response to the reviews and customer reactions to the original SC-IV. The A went significantly lower in the bass dept. due to different woofers and crossover changes as wel... 
How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff?
No Regrets, What do you power your SC-IVs with? Have you tried a few different amps? I would love to hear your impressions of amp/speaker pairings. 
How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff?
River, I have been through the speaker mill over the years myself. From Vandersteen 2Cs to Meadowlark Audio Heron Hot rods, to Apogee Mini Grands, Mirage M3si, Dynaudo Contour IVs, JM Labs Mezzo Utopias and more. I currently have a pair of the DAL... 
Please help newb put a system together
Cool to see that you and the WW listen together. Foster that time together any way you can! It looks like the i-nova has a filtered out to the sub and possible a HT bypass? That may not help though. If the Carvers do need to be limited in low freq... 
A tale of WAF
At first I thought the topic was a tale of WTF. Then to see the WAF it was to laugh. I have THE COOLEST audio gal ever. She not only tolerates 2 pairs of Acoustat 2 + 2s and a 7 foot subwoofer in the HT, she puts up with the cable elevator maze in... 
Turntable dust covers
hello, How were they at working with the custom cut outs? I have a VPI Aries the would need several holes for power cord, motor switch and ICs and I had problems getting another maker to "get" the dimensions and locations of cut outs.Mike 
Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using?
Anybody ever run SC-IVs with a BAT VK 60? 
Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using?
Drubin- I stuck my SC-IV Improved on some home made spike/sands. Basically just some 16" wide cherry stock with 2 3/8" spikes drilled in and leveled. The strips sit just inside the base dimensions and elevate the speakers about 1 7/8". My floor is... 
Phono Stage or TT upgrade
Clio99: I have tried the P5Xe in my rig with the D 17 MK II and found it very noisy. As in almost a tube rush like sound that was audible from the listening position even over moderate volume playback. Ayre advised this was "normal" with super low... 
Phono Stage or TT upgrade
Stanwal: The groove was part of a full Tom Evans rig that I bought to help out a pal's widow. I never meant to listen to it, just to move the gear and recoup some money for her.Learsfool: The P 25 (IMHO) out classes the P3-24 any day and I persona...
