Any AudiogoN members still usint Thiel speakers?
yes!  I am running Thiel PCS speakers in my home office and love them.  
I have various speakers and audio equipment for sale. They 7-10 years old. Should I list?
you don't have anything to lose other than the listing fees...might as well see what you can get. 
Revel 226be vs. 228be
sounds like the hive has spoken...I can't really go wrong with either speaker, and I can't turn down the deal on the 228s...so 228s it is.   
Revel 226be vs. 228be
okay well that pretty much settles it then...looks like the overwhelming advice is to take the 228s and deal with any potential "this thing might be a little too big" problems. @tvflem--I appreciate your POV.  Saying you love the 208s kinda seale... 
EAD 7000 Mark III
cool--good to know they are still around.  I've got the same DAC and stopped using it when the right channel went out.  Been sitting on it for a few years now.  
EAD 7000 Mark III
Is Noble still around?  They used to show up here if you searched the sale items for EAD.I did have noble work on an EAD transport years ago (still have it) and they were extremely professional. 
Seeking Advice on Amp/Preamp or Integrated for Thiel PCS speakers
I'm a little late to the party here, but I drive my Thiel PCSs with an older Krell integrated KAC400xi and love the combo.I've also had Nuforce ref 9 v3 SE monoblocks driving them and it was great.  The monoblocks are getting upgraded so the Krell... 
MY THIEL 1.5 FLOOR SPEAKERS
that sounds seriously whack...a sound bar?  Doesn't make sense, I think you are right to be skeptical.   
How did you discover audiogon?
for me it was via web search several years ago...but I didn't actually purchase anything until I found out a buddy had been buying/selling here for a few years. 
weiss /Berkeley DAC
Kr4--that was pretty good...funniest thing I've read here in a while! 
Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals?
about 12 or 18 months ago tweeter closed a bunch (all?) of their Southern California stores. I went down to one near San Diego and found the "deals" to be pretty weak. I think it was on the order 20% off MSRP. I did talk to one of the guys working... 
Blu Ray or Oppo?
This has been a really interesting thread to follow...it's been really cool to see everyone's opinion. I hope that continues.I am not a Sony fan by any means and was hoping that HD-DVD would win the format war. That didn’t happen, but something ve... 
Transporter to Nuforce 9 SeV2 preamp search
here's a second nod for the Modwright SWL9.0 Signature...I'm using that with my nuforce ref 9v2SEs and am very happy. They are mated to Vienna Acoustics Beethovan speakers and the combination brings out a new level of performance from the Beethova... 
Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi
I've had a Krell KAV 400xi for about three years--that unit never fails to amaze me. It's been rock solid reliable too. I currently have it paired Thiel PCS speakers and am very happy with the setup. 
Music Hall Trio / Arcam Solo / etc.?
Hi Quidnunc,Since you like NAD, they also have an all-in-one device. They call it either the L53 or L54, if memory serves me right. Check it out...it never hurts to have more options.Personally I have only played with an Arcam Solo--I can't commen...
