beetlemania...Yes, considering that they had been in a very small apartment the overall condition of the cabinets is very good.  There are a few very minor surface scratches, a swirl or two from a cloth wipe, but nothing that will concern me while...

Updated my virtual systems page...Picked up the 2.4’s from seller in NYC.  It was a typical mid-August summer afternoon in the city, about 94 degrees with oppressive humidity. 3rd floor walk-up, tight stairwell, 5 landings and about 100 stairs. (A...

unsound...I’m pretty much with you on the meters thing, but for reasons including your opinion and others. I kinda enjoy music a little bit more when my living room is practically dark,  illuminated only by the evening outside the window.  My neig...

beetlemania...Hahaha.  Good reply.  I just sold my Maggie MMGi’s off here on the site in just 3 hours.  Took a single re- list to sell the Audio Research DSi200 Integrated sole, but that was $1300 greater.  C’est la vie. What my “settling down” me...

jafant...I’m still with the cheap-seats Transparent cables. I’ve yet to find a reason to concern myself with anything else. I am not going to head down the same road I did since joining this site.  It’s almost embarrassing how much stuff I’ve sold...

beetlemania...Yup - I decided to accept the counteroffer immediately so I wouldn’t risk blowing the opportunity. Black ain’t exactly my color preference but hey, right now I’ve got the Maggie MMGi’s in place and their panel is all black.  The Thie...

Beetlemania...The speakers appear to be in good to very good shape cosmetically except for one speaker having some imperfections at the base. The drivers appear to be in excellent shape - at least via the photos supplied. The buyer has 100% positi... 
Opinions on Ohm Walsh 2000 or JM-Lab Daline 3.1 ?
Czar2000...I received an email with your inquiry about the Belles integrated however I can’t find your post anywhere.  
Thiel Owners
beetlemania...Your post regarding driving your CS2.4's was MOST appreciated at this moment because I am about to tender an offer on a pair that's available locally here in New York.  (not the SE version) I just sold my Audio Research DSi200 integr... 
BELLES 250i INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
rcaben...Thanks for the info.  Like you stated, I too am mystified why he doesn’t get more recognition. This is absolutely the best integrated I have ever owned.  Period. As my personal benchmark was Pass Labs, I can state without hesitation that ... 
BELLES 250i INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
jafant...Thanks. This is a system you build around the amp. Since I got a hold of my first Thiels years ago I built my system around the speakers, eventually getting to a time where my “standard” was Thiel/Pass Labs. With all due respect to Nelson... 
BELLES 250i INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
sml19...A few comments I’ve gathered - and there are very few indeed - more or less imply that the integrated is comprised of that amp and one of his preamps.  Having never had either, I am just as content with the integrated.  The specs you state...

gdnrbob...Nope.  You’re the sole response thus far.  
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Great guy, great company and best of all, located in my place of birth, Brooklyn.  
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
austingonzo...As a native New Yawkah I can tell you that John S. is an absolutely trustworthy and honest business man. I have the good fortune of residing within driving distance of the Ohm factory, in my county of birth, Brooklyn. A few years bac...
