| Thiel Owners unsound...You're a New Yawkah, too?I'm picking them up in NYC this Saturday morning. Jafant...It all depends upon what my Simaudio may fetch as to what I may go with. Pass definitely tops my list for amps. There's been a couple nice BAT integrate... | |
| Thiel Owners I just succeeded in outbidding a few other folks on the site for a pair of original owner CS3.5's. I actually had no idea my bid would be the highest and was shocked that I wasn't outbid. Frankly speaking, I've stolen them. If there's another loca... | |
| Thiel Owners catalysis...Great tip. I actually sent my mids to Rob when I bought my first pair of 3.5's and figured the $600 I paid for the work was a good investment in what is a truly amazing loudspeaker. My nephew now has those. A good while after after th... | |
| Thiel Owners dlcockrum...I will verify that "any old amp" sounds good with Thiel. Subsequently, it's the Thiels that make a body crazy afterward trying to find the mo' better amps to appease the audio gods. At the very least Thiels are addictive. While almo... | |
| Thiel Owners corvette...A little while back I was driving my 3.5's with a Primare A34.2 class D amplifier - I forget which preamp I was using at the time - 150 watts into 8ohms, "almost double that" into 4 ohms. (The "almost..." quote direct from Primare when ... | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily...I'm currently using a Simaudio integrated with my 3.6's and find it pretty damn good, 200 watts into their 4ohm load. I sold off my second X150.5 and a BAT VK3i preamp simply because I grew weary of all the wires and what not. I st... | |
| Thiel Owners Undoubtedly unsound will offer wise advice/suggestions regarding powering the 3.7's appropriately; his past advice regarding my former 3.5's was useful and utilized. Toward that end I have to once again offer my opinion on Pass Labs - if the cost... | |
| Mini System The Peachtree Deepblue2. Amazingly good portable with wifi/Bluetooth and an aux jack. | |
| Thiel Owners Prof...I've also been able to enjoy my Thiels and a fair number of Maggies (MMG's, MGIIIa's, .7's, and 1.7's) as well with "modest" amplifiers in the past and..."power hungry" though their reputations may be, one can certainly enjoy any of the afo... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof...The lean quality of Thiel is precisely what makes me so damn fond of them. Lean can mean different things to different people, but it is just that perception that struck me as uncolored, perhaps even a tad unforgiving of reproducing sound.... | |
| Thiel Owners "Moving up" the Thiel line as I have - 2.2's, 2.3's, 3.5's, and now 3.6's - does not necessarily infer that each was an improvement over the former inasmuch it does infer that each is rather different from the former, if not by definition "better"... | |
| Tube Integrated Amp to Drive Floorstanding Speakers? I've had very good dealings with Audio Breakthroughs which is why I mentioned them - always a pleasure in my book. | |
| The Best of Fellow Audiophiles. I just sold a pair of Alon II's to a fellow member here a couple of days ago. He drove to NY from Virginia to complete the sale. Brutal trip, intrepid fellow, musician, and a pleasure to meet. We auditioned the new Jaco Pastorious release through ... | |
| Anticables Paul's cables ain't a ripoff. I've used both his interconnects and speaker cables to good effect over the years and have never felt as though I was taken advantage of nor wasted my money. I like his speaker cables, and I've purchased nothing but ... | |
