| Thiel speaker model range I have never auditioned CS2.7, but I did that for CS3.7 - when my choice was between CS6 and CS3.7. I think mid-high ranges arecomparable in both speakers, perhaps CS3.7 give wider and more intensive mid-high ranges, although low frequencies are ... | |
| McIntosh MA5200 Another small late complement to this discussion (on an interesting for me topic). I am also using MA5200 with 4 ohm (non-sensible 86db) Thiel CS6 for about a year. The amp never gets hot, it keeps almost cool after hours of working. No sign o... | |
| Recording quality... More and more I am getting convinced that a difference in recording quality is far more important than the difference in sound quality between high end components. In other words, you may spent thousands of dollars on upgrading your system, which ... | |
| How does Yamaha CD S2000 reproduce super audio? These Yamaha players are not bad. The issue in my post was, from one side, the technical part of how the 2 channel PCM DAC of Yamaha CD S2000 manages super audio (I don't know which DAC has CD S1000), and, from the other side, the practical perfor... | |
| How does Yamaha CD S2000 reproduce super audio? Yakbob, I have never compared s2100 or s3000 with s2000, and never auditioned them. They have essentially different DACs, s21000 and s2300 have built in ESS Sabre 8 channel DAC, where s2000 likely uses PCM (I guess 2-channel) DAC. This may give so... | |
| How does Yamaha CD S2000 reproduce super audio? Interesting Bill. I have compared the Yamaha with a few other non-SACD players (Krell cad 300cd, Rotel rdv 1060, Arcam cd74), Yamaha sounds decent, but exaggerating, its sound is a bit more like coming from a bullhorn compared to Krell or a more m... | |
| Tube Power Amp Suggestions You don't really need that much tube power to drive 91db speakers.50 watts in tube give almost double compared to the solid state. I bought a 50 watts (in push-pull) Manley Stingray about 16 years or so(the cost then was far below 10k). It drives... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? I agree with raymonda that music itself is a drug. You may try to make your best to see and feel that (without using any drag). When I listen to music at night in my living room, I usually take some glasses of tee (green or sometimes black) that m... | |
| Why pay so much for super high end? Not necessarily the more you pay the better sound you get. Combination and compatibility question ( especially amp-speaker) is very important, I can say this from my experience. The placement of the speakers is also important. Also, what kind of... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older It was interesting to follow these conversations and good that you have achieved what you wished. By the way, since I am using Thiel CS6 since a few months or so, it would be indeed interesting your overall point of view CS3.7 vs CS6. I have aud... |
