Todd: i do not, but i am a huge fan of the PS BHK amp as Bighempin heard and can testify to how good it sounded.

@pwhinson.    greetings.   i actually never had a sub when i had the 2.4's so i did not know how they would work.   the sub worked great with my .7 speakers.  your new speakers look fantastic.   i sure look forward to hearing how they do once brok...

hi Tom,   thanks for the clarification on phase, absolute phase, and all those other phase things.  i had mixed up polarity with phase but your comments make me realize how many things can go wrong in the process.   Also thanks for the info on DC....

hi Todd,  i may be over my head here but there are two kinds of phase that I know of.  One is absolute phase which is easy to test with the Reference recordings burn in and test cd.  that shows if something is hooked up incorrectly and thus out of...

hi TT,  thanks for the recommendation of that album.  the one i got was live at Stone Mountain and it is really lovely.  You are one wise and insightful person as i can tell that from the way you write.

thank you Tom. all though i cannot honestly claim that i understand all you said, i get the main points for sure. When i listen to a well recorded symphony, such as on Reference Recordings, i really get a sense of a complete orchestra and it sound...

hi Bighempin,   it was great seeing you and i am so glad you enjoyed your visit.   I am honored and pleased that my system sounded so good to you.   I  am such a huge fan of the PS gear and think the BHK amps are fantastic with Thiel speakers (at ... 
Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music
per a few votes above,  i would strongly suggest the PS Audio BHK mono blocks.   I have the 250 stereo amp and it is fabulous driving my Thiel 3.7 speakers.  I want to put a strong plug in for their new power regenerators as they are incredible.  ...

Thiel CS2.4 to what?
greetings,   i went from a set of 2.4's to a set of 2.7's and that was a great  move.  agree about adding a sub and I like the REL that i have.  good luck.PS:  my 2.7's and now 3.7's do great with the PS Audio BHK 250 amp
