Any suggestions for improvements?
that arm isn't the best match-up for the oracle, due to its spring arrangement, & the way the et will cause weight-shift to the oracle as the arm moves. i assume ewe have an older oracle - i can't imagine this arm wood get mounted today on a g... 
Warm sounding ss power amps
hi johnny, i like my electrocompaniet amps. and i'm not saying this yust cuz i have one for sale! ;~) it's only f/s cuz i found a matched stereo pair that i can run wertically bi-amped.that said, mgs is correct - yer system's brightness may be due... 
Congested sound, new speakers?
redkiwi, perhaps yure rite about the mids of the 1.5's - i dunno, i'm not familiar w/this specific model. but, i've heard several of their other models, and they all had a *family* sound. i own a pair of 3.5's, now in a secondary system. i've neve... 
Need SS preamp that sounds like tube .

Thiel cs3.6 keep blow up mid/tweter driv
thiels are wery demanding of quality amplification & lotsa current - normally, i'd take the adwice of drtmth58 & cornfedboy. but, in this case, yer amp is up to the task. so, i'd suspect ewe have a problem similar to that referred-to by rm... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
albert, i have a suspicion that stevemj's post *was*, in fact, in jest. ironic, that, as you show, it's actually what smart designers *do*. seems to me they know something *isn't* "technically perfect", as stevemj purports, if it in fact cannot ac... 
To Sub or not to Sub...?
jayboard, if this worked, it'd be purely coincidental - what if your room resonance was @ 120hz? i don't tink ewe wood wanna raise the monitors' x-over point to, say, 140hz, and the subs' to 100hz, yust to deal w/this, if better integration betwee...

Bohlender Graebener -Worth Buying?
stu, relax - it's possible no one here has had experience w/these. personally, if i were ewe, i'd check out newform research's r645 or nhb645. go to their ww, & check out user reviews on audioreview. that's what i'm saving for right now...rega... 
Congested sound, new speakers?
stereojon, i woodn't do *anything* w/yer current set-up until ya move. *none* of the negative comments about your thiels are true, imho, except chstob's comment that they can fall apart when pushed. but, this is cuz they want *lotsa* power, someth... 
Need SS preamp that sounds like tube .
redkiwi, i also have gotten negative wotes, sometimes not even for expressing an opinion, but yust cuz it's *me*! ;~) i can honestly say that i completely disagree w/your position - i tink it's the synergy betwen the specific amp & pre & s...
