would like some suggestions for a well recorded Rush cd. all i have heard and been bright and one dimensional.   this is a great album and i am not a Mac fan by any means but the music is exciting and the recording quality is great.   https://ww...

thanks Dan and Prof for your comments.  it is funny that your brother may have liked the 2.7's better as my girlfriend likes them better too.   i think that the "sweeter" mid bass sound is what appeals to her as they have a bit more warmth in some...

TomThiel:  thanks so much.  the only reason i am selling them is because i just acquired a beautiful pair of maple 3.7's from Rob.  otherwise they would not be looking for a new home.  However i am certainly interested in updates and upgrades to t...

thanks.   fascinating that there has been so little interest in them when they are so collectable and such a great speaker.

to reiterate the point that Prof made,   i recently listened to a pair of 29K Magicos driven by very nice VTL tube amps.   was it great?  absolutely.  was it better? yes as it was more articulate and had a overall cleaner sound.  however, when i c...

hi Jafant,   thanks so much.   I am selling the 2.7's here and on audiomart just in case someone does not know that but wants a beautiful pair of them. The electronics are all upper end PS Audio which i swear by.   the rack is a beautiful piece i ...

hi Prof,   thank you so much. great reading.  i think the better our systems get,  the more tiny changes are audible.  why swap power cords if your speakers are Bose or something like that.  i use a Lafuma reclining chair as it is not thick and do...

hi Prof,   how far apart do you have the speakers?  also i really find that the distance from my ears to the floor,   though subtle,  affects the SQ

there are some great tips on the Mapleshade web site.  Pierre thinks we sit too far away and too high and i have been using his suggestions for years with all my various Thiel speakers.  I have the speakers  114"  apart (tweeter to tweeer),    90"...
