ARC LS16 vs LS2 MK2
Alot of folks think that because something is newer that its better. Not true in this case!I had a chance to "A" -"B" these two pieces with a good friend of mine. I.M.H.O. (and my friends)the LS 2 MK II was much better than the "16". The salesman ... 
Dual 704 turntable. Any good?
I can only speak to my expierence with the 2 pieces. I had a chance to listen to both years ago and I liked the Dual myself. My oldest brother bought the 704 and if I remember right it was a semi-automatic system. I bought the 721 which was fully ... 
What makes up an
Easy. If you happy with what you spent and your happy with the sound then its fine. On my last system I spent $80,000 on and spent more time worried that it was performing as it should rather than enjoying it.Now Im trying to do it with what I cal... 
Help w/speaker choice
Hello, I was in Hawaii awhile back and I believe that there is a dealer there that sells Thiel. I.M.H.O. None of the speakers you talked about can compare to Thiel. JBL and Josephs are entry level speakers Thiel is highly thought of. You will need...

I run my Classe Omega through 2 Chang Lightspeed 9600's and am very happy with them. They also do not limit current.I.M.H.O. I would never run any amp straight into the wall ( even though I use 2 dedicated 20 amp lines). Im in the country and the ...

Audio Research LS-22 or LS-16 Which is Best
I A/B'd my ARC LS 2B Mk II against the LS 16 and the LS 2 smoked it, especially when you consider the price. The 16 sounded dead, gain was real bad. If you notice there are alot of used 16's out there. I listened to the "22' a couple of times and ... 
Help me choose an amp
I have owned 5 different models in the Thiel line and I would strongly recommend Classe. They have a "Tube" like sound and are very warm sounding. The have lots of power and are very well built. I have never had them be fatiguing at all. My ecpier...

Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this?
I was not sure if I was going to respond as I do not know alot about the technical part of Hi-Fi. I have the Revel Salons connected to a Classe Omega Amp using MIT Oracle speaker cables. I am also using a Audio Research REF II pre-amp, a Theta Jad...

Amp for Thiel 2.3s. Anyone use Classe with them?
Hello, I have owned the Thiel MCS 1's the 2.3's the CS 6's and the 7's. I always used Classe Amps, including the CA 300,the newer 301 ( which I liked more than the 300 as it was quieter w/ no ground loop hum)and the Omega. Krell to me sounded to d...
