Heads up for earwax.

amp for thiel cs1.6??
I have a new pair of Thiel 2.3's (love them) and I've ordered the Odyssey Stratos monoblocks (1800.00). They have a 30 day money back policy, so I think its worth checking out. You can get the Odyssey Stratos 2ch x150 amp for aprox. 1000.00. I hav... 
Classe 201 -vs- Odyssey Stratos
Hey Rjones, did you get the monoblock version of the Stratos or the basic Stratos. Also wondering if you got the cap upgrade?If you think the Stratos was better than the Classe 201, can you tell me where it pulled ahead? I cant wait to see for mys... 
Small floorstander recommendations
OK, heres one you have not heard yet.. The Energy Veritas 2.2 w/stands. you can find them used on this site now and then for perhaps a little over 1K. They are incredibly good for music and theater, and they are built incredibly well. With the rig... 
Energy Veritas 2.8 and 1.8 Heard? Like?
Hey Dan,Man... I'm glad I didn't buy those 1.8's from you when you put them up for sale! I thought maybe you were just saying all those great things about the 1.8's to sell them to me, but It sounds like you really love them!Sorry I never called y... 
Help: Thiel CS6 vs CS 2.3
I just picked up a brand new pair of 2.3's that were store demos for 3K (they were only on the sales floor for two months!) I could not be happier with these speakers for music as well as great theater performance. I recommend calling around to Th... 
Martin Logan Aeons and Depth
I did an in-home audition of the ML Aeons (they were having a great close out sale), and found that they were not rich sounding enough for music, but iincredibly crystal clear. But if theater is your main foucus and you have the SWEET ML sub and S... 
Oppinions on the Thiel 2.3's
Thanks everyone. I picked up a pair of brand new demo 2.3's from my local dealer for 3k. I called Thiel with the serial numbers and they confirmed that they were made in Sept. 2002 and shipped out to my dealer in Dec. They were only on the floor f...

Speaker recommendation - 3K budget
After home auditioning the ML Aeons, Thiel 1.6's and the Thiel 2.3's I went with the Thiel 2.3'sThey are absolutly beautiful! They re-create music like no other speaker in this price range or even much higher. The build quality is perfect and the ... 
Help Soon - Martin Logan surrounds
Just a follow up. The Energy Veritas 2.2's worked out VERY WELL in my theater set up. Some will say use ML surrounds or nothing, but they obviously have dedicated rooms or dont have wives who care about having company over. The 2.2 are very nice l...

Help Soon - Martin Logan surrounds
Im about to try some Energy Veritas 2.2's as rear surrounds to go with my new ML Aeons. I'll let you know how they do. The 2.2's sell for 1500.00 new, but I thik you can get them used on this site for about 700.00, but you will still need the 400....
