| ARC Ref CD-8 compared to CD-6 and/or Ref CD-9 @jafant Have you had the chance to hear the CD6 and CD9 back to back? I'm demoing the CD6 and I'm finding the bass a bit too rounded for my taste. | |
| Thiel Owners @therealpupalei what do you think of the PS amp? I have a Denon HTR and have hooked it up to my Krell to Thiel setup. This wasn't a good match at all. The preamp I use now (Levinson 326S) is significantly more expensive however is an excellent m... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel do you by chance have the Mahler 7 - CSO Abbado on DG? The track I used was the beginning of mvt 5. If not I can post a snip of the track for testing purposes. | |
| Thiel Owners @therealpupalei yes you needed to short out the XLR inputs when using the single ended inputs as that can cause issuesits unfortunate that you had such issues as the Krell TAS is an excellent piece of gear. I would have liked to hear your impress... | |
| Thiel Owners @jon_5912 Were you able to repair the crossover? | |
| Thiel Owners @ctsooner That is what my hunt has been for. Any speaker can produce sound. A carefully matched system can reproduce music and that is what I’m after as well. Currently my most involving setup is this:Intel NUC running wtfplay (Synergistic Active ... | |
| Thiel Owners Another thought - does anyone have 3.6's that could run a test for me? I can send you a song that produces the crackling. I'm thinking this may have always been there however you don't hear it unless you are really close and off to the side of t... | |
| Thiel Owners @therealpupalei - what do you think of the PS compared to your previous Krell?I'm using a Krell TAS to power a pair of 3.6's. Love it! | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone have the specs on the tweeter for the 3.6(D26AG-36)? If you listen off to the side and rather close to the tweeter you can hear crackling on music with strong lower treble upper mid energy - like timpani for classical music. If you l... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant with regards to monoblocksI sold the Bryston 7B-ST's once I got my hands on a Krell FBI. My girlfriend was blown away by the difference as well. I hear everyones point on clarity and truth if you will however some recordings sound awful ... | |

| Thiel Owners @therealpupalei what did you do with the Krell TAS? I have one and run it in stereo mode to a pair of 3.6's. The preamp is the Levinson 326S. This is my large orchestra setup. | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant I wanted to go the ARC Ref 5SE to Bryston 7BST route however the Krell FBI changed that. I would have preferred to have them side by side to compare however have no regrets on selling the Bryston for the Krell. | |
| Thiel Owners @tmsrdg which specific piano recordings? I want to listen to what you are referencing.@jafant Computer --> MSB Analog --> Krell FBI --> CS2.7 = :-) | |
| Thiel Owners @prof Which CJ amp are you running? I have used Bryston 3BST and 7BST's and heard the same thing. The Krell FBI has all of the advantages of SS while not leaning toward the "thinner, flatter, more icy in tone and texture". |
