| Thiel Owners Thanks guys, IMO a single Coda#16 would easily outperform 2 AHB-2s driving CS 3.7s. Anyway i will start by demoing the Gryphon Essence stereo pre-power combo and see how that goes against my Diablo 300. Since i now have Cardas Clear Beyond IC an... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Just trying to compare my Diablo 300 to the newer Gryphon Essence Monos. My dealer can lend me the Essence stereo and pre to try out in my system so i can make a shootout against my Diablo 300 but no one has the Mono versions for me to t... | |
| Thiel Owners Guys i have a question regarding amp power to max out Thiel speakers. Is it better to have 300W A/B stereo doubling down to 2 ohms with 136 000 microfarads of capacitance or 55W pure class A Monoblocks doubling down to 2 ohms with 880 000 microfa... | |
| Thiel Owners Signal cables do make a huge difference from one brand to another with Thiel speakers at least in my experience with my 3.7s. I have gone from Gryphon VIP IC and SC to Cardas Clear Beyond IC and SC. The difference is night and day, Clear Beyond ... | |
| Comparison of Cardas Clear & Beyond Speaker Cable to Shunyata Sigma or Alpha Cable I received my brand new Clear Beyond IC and SC. I'm only 24 hours into the break in period and i can tell you guys the bass is mind blowing with much more air, density and resolution. I come from Gryphon VIP series IC and SC, Clear Beyond is way... | |
| Thiel Owners Check these out guys, a beautiful pair of McCormack Monos. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisaaeg8-smc-audio-custom-400w-monobloc-amplifiers-solid-state | |
| Thiel Owners Ok just tried 9 apart, indeed much better than 8 much more air between the instruments, sounstage is spectacular. I have best results with very little toe in. I cannot try 10 apart because my carpet is not wide enough but very happy with 9. In... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Yes seems that we have similar rooms, my system is long wall placement and i'm sitting close to the back wall about 9 feet from tweeters. My room has very good acoustics as i have wooden floor, thick carpet under the system and thick cur... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys, just a quick question regarding positioning. How far apart were you able to set your Thiels from tweeter to tweeter without having a hole in the soundstage ? Is it 9 or 10 feet or more ? I have my 3.7s 8 feet apart as recommended in th... | |
| Thiel Owners Well it is surprising but the Humboldt had much more grip than the Diablo 300 on my 3.7s. Bass was much deeper, detailed and full body with the Humbold, the Diablo sounded lean compared to the Humboldt. In Europe the Humboldt’s MSRP is 42K, i ca... | |
| Thiel Owners I had the proof that Thiel speakers are not the bottleneck in a system when i compared my Gryphon Diablo 300 to the Audionet Humboldt in my system. My Diablo 300 felt like a broken amp compared to the Humboldt driving my CS 3.7s. That's how much... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant My Gryphon VIP series SC and IC went against Odeion Sigma, Kubala Sosna Sensation, Cardas Clear Beyong and Tellurium Q Statement. The best all around cables in my system were the Cardas Clear Beyond and therefore ordered them, should rece... | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys, i finished my cable shootout in my system and the winer is Cardas Clear Beyond. Just ordered Clear Beyond SC and IC. Best balance between high resolution, organic sound and huge slam. | |
| Thiel Owners Hi guys, yesterday i was fortunate to have the Audionet distributor at my place for a Humboldt demo in my system. I can now say it is the best integrated amp at any price and will even outperform very expensive separates. Never heard my Thiel CS... | |
| AUDIONET HUMBOLDT INTEGRATED SONIC NIRVANA !? Just demoed this beast in my system today, i can confirm you will not find a better integrated at any price today, this is the real deal. This integrated will smoke most separates up to 100k. |
