Thiel CS 3.7 vs Tidal Piano Cera
It seems there are increasing # of manufacturers nowdays using the dimond tweeter & accuton mid/bass drivers. Isophon, Marten, white Lumen to name to few. I guess for Zood, it comes down to what he is looking for in an upgrade. If you want smo... 
Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2
egrady, I agree with you on your points. That's why I have even higher regards for the KEF 207.2. They sounded right in dealer demo, and they sound equally right at home. They are not too picky on placement (due to Uni-q) I guess, The sweet spot a... 
Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2
I have lived with many speakers through my years of pouring my savings to upgrading my systems, but nothing, I mean nothing has satisfied me more than the sound that the new Kef 207/2 makes. I have lived with Wilson WP 7, Thiel 3.7, Dynaudio c4, H... 
Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4
dang..I wish I got into this thread back then..very interesting reading. I couldn't have agreed more with Cinematic...he seems like he knows his stuff. I had 2.3 in my house for exactly 2 weeks before I sold them off to some other fool who was con... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
James,to your question, not sure if you did the comparison with Sasha, but Sasha is very different from sophia 2 or WP8. I am not a big fan of Sophia especially, and it is just not in the same league as Thiel or Sasha. Sasha's bass is not boomy as... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
In Korea, The thiels and WPs are imported by the same importer so we can do a side by side comp. at the importer's showroom. Anyway, both speakers are truly great, for the price Thiel does a lot, but WP Sasha definitely beats out Thiel 3.7 in the ... 
Thiel 3.7
I think I saw your similar post here. Anyway, I think Thiel, Ayre CD, and the carda cables will serve you very well in terms of bringing warmth to your Thiel 3.7. My only reservation will be the Bryston combos. Personally for SS, I prefer the Ayre... 
Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers?
Actuary, you will love the system. Thiel 3.7 is amazing.. Just make sure to give them some time to break in. I have the golden cross and nirvana cables going through and I am sure your neutral ref. will give similar warmth to Thiel. Play with the ... 
ATC owners present and former
I have owned ATC SCM35 in the past. Considering all the hassle you have to go through to find the right gears that can drive this beast and make it sing right, at the end, I felt Harbeth Super HL5 was a much better option from England with better ... 
Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?
while we are on the subject of cables, I replaced silver speaker cables (HGA x32) with Nirvana SL for my Thiel 3.7 setup and worked out extremely well. So, I am now tempted to replace interconnect between cd source to pre-amp to either Nirvana sx ... 
Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?
First, audiooracle, I don't think you ever auditoned the new Thiel 3.7 if you are linking Thiel 3.7 to lack of warmth or dynamic limitation. you are either caught in the past or taking words from others who are as less informed as you. Having said... 
Is difference between B&W 802D & 800D worth price?
Joeswest, first when I auditoned b&w 802d and 800d, I personally thought they were a terrible match with Mc Monoblocks regardless of what dealers may say. I am lucky to be living in a country where you can audition a lot of the top gears in a ... 
Belles 350A Ref / Ayre V-1XE / Pass Labs X250.5
for the price, and match with your future system, I recommend Belles 350A. Belles is very similar to Ayre except it offers better extended and more controlled bottom end. I have had both ATC (scm35) and Harbeth Super HL5 in the past. I strongly re... 
Has anyone spent time with the Thiel 3.7?
I auditioned B&w 802D, Wilson Sophia, KEF 205/2 Ref, and Thiel 3.7 side by side before I ended up purchasing 3.7. Thiel just simply outshined the rest. B&W 802D proved just how uninteresting and boring it's sound is but with ridiculous pri... 
DK Design VS-1 Reference MK3 Noise Issue
Hi Rbstehno,based on the recommendation by DK and by reviewers, I am using singled ended and do not use balance connection at all. If you are having hiss issue when using balanced, that seems like it could be another issue that you should look into.
