Check out "Think I'll go back Home" from Stephen Stills self titled with Eric Clapton playing lead - great solo.

Advertising plain and simple - the MOST effective way to market a consumer product - the MOST expensive way by far. I'm not in the advertising industry but I do know if a magazine isn't generating ads they aren't in business long - subscriptions d... 
Amp for Thiel 2.3s. Anyone use Classe with them?
Classe and Thiel are a classic match. I use a CA 200 with 3.6's but also have cj tubes in the preamp. The sound is rich, revealing with no brightness unless the recording calls for it. 
Comparison: Cardas Neutral Ref vs. Goertz MI2 or 3
Mitch, I haven't had cardas in my system but I own Goertz M2's. Between my classe and thiel 3.6 I get punchy bass, a smooth fat midrange, nice, clear and fairly extended highs. Imaging is very good. The midrange is anything but hard, it's rich sou... 
Good Amp/Preamp for "bright " Thiel 3.6 speakers ?
Alot of 3.6 threads lately, I've had a CJ premier 14 and Classe 200 combo for 3 years, all MIT cabling with my 3.6's. I like it alot. Haven't had tons of gear through here for comparison sake but I can listen for hours to this system.

Steve Howe "Natural Timbre" - even a little Yes for a teaser. 
Help please...recommendations on affordable power
The monster HTS 1000 is actually a great value - I have a 2000 on my home theater system and for kicks bought a 1000 for my audio system and it was a nice improvement in overall terms, mostly clarity. I prefer going directly into the wall with ded... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Yes Tim, life if short and cocktail hour is an important part of the day to wind down, reflect, oh yeah and on the weekends listen to loud music. It's like the statement on the sleeve of "let it bleed" "This record should be played loud." 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Ozfly - it's just being introduced so you'll see it everywhere soon - CP Dunn I have had Citadelle Gin and your right it is interesting. If you like Gin try Plymouth Gin from ...you guessed it Plymouth, England. I toured the distillery last year. ... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
LEVEL Vodka - the new super premium from the makers of ABSOLUT - unlike any vodka I've ever had.....and I've had a few! 
Thiel 1.6 vs 2.3 vs 3.6
I would suggest an inexpensive tube preamp like a CJ PV 10 - a nice mate with the Adcom if your keeping it. Those Thiels will scream at you if aggressive components are upstream. BTW I have 3.6's and love em! 
Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6
Hi Tombowlus, I have been using a class ca 200 for 3 years - although it's the only amp I've used on my 3.6's I really have no desire to change to another brand - maybe a bigger classe or newer design. This amp drives my thiels with ease in a larg... 
Phase inverted..why?
That's what the doc said - pretty impressive huh? 
Phase inverted..why?
No hearing problems here - got a little tendonitus in the left elbow though.
