Great thread.   I am someone who also enjoys using the compact disc as my main music source.  I enjoy putting going to my collection and picking out something that fits the mood.   Big_Greg above recommended the Marantz black pearl and i highly co...

I am an outlier here,  but i have had great success with sound using MG Audio speaker cables between the PS BHK amp and the 3.7's.  My friend Bob who has a system virtually identical to mine is much more dedicated to auditioning multiple speaker c...

I cannot comment on any other brand,  but i  have had great success using REL subs with my 2.7's and now 3.7's.  I just added a second sub,  and the improvement was not subtle and it is not just about more or deeper bass.

I would like to add that to my knowledge,  outriggers were not an option on the earlier 2 series such as the 2 and 2.2.  however,  if anyone needs a pair of Sound Anchors  i do have a pair for sale as i no longer needed them once i got a pair of 2...

GasMan:  i have 3.7's and use one SHO-5 REL.   If i had it to do over i would probably try to get two of the SHO-3 subs.  two is better than one if it works for  your budget

hi Cabinlife,  congrats as well.   they were how i started my journey with Thiel back in 1985. they can be a bit bright so pay attention to amp, cables etc.  Also i have a pair of Sound Anchors that i used to use with them as they needed them for ...

hi Tom,   i went into my archives and found this.  not sure if he is still in biz or anything else about him at this point.  he did service and update my unit.  here is a copy of the invoice.  this is from March 2006Subject: Sony SCD-1/SCD-777ES M...

hi tom,  i second Jafants advice.  i had one of those big bad boys,  and they are  finicky and may need servicing someday.  make sure you do not pull a muscle as they are super heavy
