| Levinson 27.5 to 335 Dewinkle: A buddy of mine had the 3.6's and bought a 331.5. WOW what a difference from any previous amp he tried. Fantastic match. I think Rockitman has a bad taste in his mouth for ML so I would overlook it because there are plenty of satisfied M... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs 3.6? No comparison between the 3.6 and 3.7. A buddy of mine has the 3.7 and another buddy had the 3.6 and 7.0. The 3.6 is not even in the ballpark of either IMO. | |
| Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations? Sonus Faber warm and lush? Sorry Tonykay but a buddy of mine has the Cremonas and I wouldn't describe them as warm rich and lush. Their not bright by any means but definetely not warm and lush. They are very nice looking thats for damn sure :) | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts I was very impressed Pubul57 at how the mkIII drove his 3.7's. One hell of an amp. | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts I have Decades and know Ty's speakers very well. I would recommend something from Rogue or a Audio Research VT-100 MKIII. Even a BAT VK-75SE might be a good choice. A buddy of mine is running a VT-100 MKIII with his Thiel 3.7's and it sounds fanta... | |
| First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc I would go for the Aragon/Acurus or maybe an older PS Audio digital amp. The digital amp has a lot of power and control. | |
| First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc How much do you want to spend or what is your budget? Personally I would go with the Bryston over the amps you have mentioned. I had a GFA-5500 many moons ago and it ran very hot but was an upgrade over my old receiver thats for sure. The 3BST you... | |
| Solid state warm up? My BAT VK-200 sounded its best after a 24 hr warmup. I would think your amp has enough power. | |
| Do Thiel Audio CS3.7 Rock? I have to agree with Stingreen. B&W's seem dead and flat to my ears also in comparison to the Thiels. | |
| krell ksa-250- vs ksa-200s vs fpb-200 I have heard both the FPB200 and KSA200s in other systems and the FPB200 in my system a few yrs ago. I loved the FPB in my system to be quite honest. Very smooth and dynamic. It had very good bass but I don't think it had the bass the KSA series h... | |
| Do Thiel Audio CS3.7 Rock? A local buddy of mine has a pair and he listens to mainly dynamic types of music. The 3.7's are not like most other Thiels having a LOT of topend energy or bright. I was quite impressed with them. THey do like power as most Thiels but are not terr... | |
| Mark at Rogue Audio I agree Rogue is a great company to deal with. Mark was very helpful when I was tube rolling in my Tempest II integrated. | |
| Cary sli-80 power cord Dick...I agree you can always resell and recoup your cost or most of it. I liked the Cardas PC but didn't care for it on the CDP, however, it worked well on my amp. I have tried others that work better; LessLoss being one of them. Just my 2 cents :) | |
| Cary sli-80 power cord When you get the Cardas also try it on your amp. The Golden Refs do well on amps. I never cared for it on the CDP. It didn't sound open and airy enough in my system but thats my system. Another buddy had the same experience. | |
| Cardas Golden Reference upgrade to what? I think you should put Fusion Audio Romance on your shortlist. Best IC I have heard or owned but have not heard a ton of high dollar cables. A buddy of mine had the Golden Refs and liked them but ended up liking other cables better. Of course like... |
