| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience Some dealers know their stuff. But here in Atlanta there are really only two that I feel know enough to rig the speakers they’re trying to sell properly, i.e. with electronics that will show them off properly and setup in a room properly. Those tw... | |
| Magico A3 Can anyone comment further on the bass performance of this speaker? Also, my dealer in Atlanta can't seem to get his hands on them. I guess they're seriously backordered with no shipping date given by Magico(?) | |
| PS Audio DS Jr vs. SR aolmrd1241 Thanks for that update. I checked the PS Audio site and their "sale" may have been more effective than they anticipated. The sale is off, and PS Directstreams are backordered with first available date is May 2019. That's a little sho... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I used to think that power was power with only minor differences in the sound. However in trying to decide on the best amplifier for my Thiel 2.4s I've auditioned the Bel Canto m600s (their current production monblock), the Bryston 4 cubed stereo... | |
| PS Audio DS Jr vs. SR This is less relevant now considering the "sale" and large price cuts PS Audio has on their dacs however....I originally purchased a Jr. and noticed before the last OS upgrade a weird pulsing artifact with the Jr once the volume was at a certain l... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I have heard enough about the overall tilted up balance on the Personas to discern that particular problem might be something that has to be dealt with by Paradigm. Those references are literally everywhere. I... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? In addition to great speakers, Green Mountain makes good coffee. | |
| Thiel Owners Anyone have any ideas on where I can get a set of outriggers for my Thiel 2.4s? Or other suggestions for decoupling the speakers from carpet? Presently using the little brass buttons with the short spikes which came with the speakers. Ideas? | |
| Thiel Owners I finally got around to measuring my room/speaker interactions on my Thiel 2.4s using REW and uploading a convolution filter to roon. ITS AMAZING! TIGHTENING UP EVERYTHING. Imaging if far superior now to what it was before. Frighteningly good.... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Tried the Bryston cubed series on my Thiel 2.4s and orchestral peaks were screechy, the high were unlistenable. Did some things right but just didn't work for me. My Aesthetix Atlas was "ok" with the Thiels but what really floated my boat was Pa... | |
| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! I am interested in the Paradigm Persona 9H and am just wondering if anyone has any feelings about how they would mate with Pass on the power amp duties and Aesthetix on preamp duties (the rest of the system is a Direcstream, a microrendu and a nic... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? The X150.5 is more than enough power for the 2.4's. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you want more power sure go for the X250.8 but its really not necessary. The other thing that Kent at Pass in response to my plan on buying a pair of mo... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? You might borrow a Pass X.8 series amp. I purchased an X150.8 recently to run on my 2.4s. Its far warmer and has huge power reserves for the Thiels than the Aesthetix Atlas i was using prior. I've also used Bel Canto however, which is normally ... | |
| Thiel Owners I have tried Nordost, Straight Wire, Kimber, Analysis Plus, Better Cables, JPS Labs and Synergistic Research. Although different cables seemed to be to do different things tonally occasionally, it wasn't until I arrived at Synergistic Research th... | |
| Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps Well if you like the idea of the BHK preamp, BHK himself (the man, not the preamp) extolls the Aesthetix line stages as just superb. I have one and I can also assert that they are simply awesome...all tube, maybe every so slightly more liquid and ... |
