jafant...The real impression will be made when the 3.6's arrive. As for now with the 3.5's the Neo strikes me as being slightly warmer in overall tonality, perhaps slightly more emphatic in the bass region. Again, this being compared with the Pass...

saffron...Since I listen to a fairly wide assortment of music I've purchased loudspeakers that I assume will be able to faithfully reproduce any genre I toss at 'em.  Such is not necessarily a truism, and lately with very few bricks and mortar hif...

Whilst I am awaiting the arrival of my 3.6's and the fellow member to pick up my 3.5's I have been working a pair of Acarian Alon ll's just for the heck of it - got 'em purty cheap from a bricks and mortar retailer/occasional seller here on the si... 
Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed!
I just purchased the top o' the line model of the 340i - dac and phono on board - as I've recently opted to "dumb down" from my amp/preamp setup because I found myself chasing equipment instead of just enjoying the music.  The 340i is 100 watts in...

prof...THAT'S IT!!!Your statement on Thiel's bass being tonally correct is a descriptive that has eluded me from day one, felt, heard, but never able to put the words together. I've been in the wine business for 36 years. About 30 years ago we wer...

golferboy...I'm awaiting delivery on a pair of 3.6's after having two pairs,  at different junctures,  of 3.5's which as some folks here already know,  became my reference point for loudspeakers in general.  (I gifted my first pair to my nephew.) ...

Robinbarbour...Yeah, pretty ridiculous the amount of changes, right?So far as not having auditioned the 3.6's before buying them, all I can say is that I didn't have the opportunity to do so on my 2.3's nor the 3.5's.  Stumbling upon Thiel has pro...

I finally located a pair of 3.6's in what appear to be acceptably good condition considering their age for $1450,  all including crating and shipment from Chicago.  Quite difficult to find in or around New York. My 3.5's are up here on the site, l... 
Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio
I have bought and sold a pretty good amount of products here on the 'Gon from other guys like myself who sit around in our underwear scratching our asses all day.  I have yet to have a bad experience, let alone an experience that couldn't be worke...

R. I. P.  Chuck Berry...Upon learning of his passing last night I began rummaging through my cd and vinyl collection in the hope of finding an album of his to spin in tribute. It wasn't long before I discovered that I don't own a single recording ...

Jafant...Reply to a few posts back,  no I never went about getting my 3.5's eq's modded into balanced mono operation because Rob @ Thiel more or less failed to see the benefit for me.  I still have 2 eq's so if one fails...  Besides, work has been...

I just picked up my Neo 340i integrated yesterday.  Pretty impressive piece of gear. First impression...well worth the adventure. Extended listening to be determined...This is the top model in the line which includes dac, phono, and remote. My 3.5...

Jafant...It was the 400a model, 100 watts into 8, 200 watts into 4 ohms. It sounded uncannily similar to the Pass 150.5 which...made absolute sense considering the Pass association. Just too much stuff!
