Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???
@daveyf Thanks for your input, yes the JA80Mk2 seems the sweet spot in the Jadis line up. A very good Jadis dealer in Paris who used to be a Thiel dealer told me the JA80Mk2 would be up to the task. Have you compared KT88 to KT150 in your JA30Mk... 
Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great???
I’m trying to figure out which of JA80 Mk2, JA120 or the new JA170 would be the best match for my Thiel CS 3.7s paired with Jadis JPS2 linestage. I miss too much tube sound even though I have tried many very high end SS integrated. I will soon tr... 
Integrated Amplifier for Raidho XT-2
@supermerio Did you find the Jadis i88 much more engaging than your SIA-025. I’m planing to try a Jadis DA88S against my SIA-025.  
Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?
I’ve tried many very high end SS integrated on my 3.7 and as powerful SS can be they never have the musicality of tube amps. Since I live not very far from the Jadis factory I will try to borrow a Jadis DA88S integrated to make a shootout against... 
Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?
Do you guys think VAC Signature 200IQ Monos could drive Thiel CS 3.7s pretty well ?  
Horns with good timbre and tonality?
I've heard several Horn brands but the ones that stand out at least for my taste are Odeon speakers from Germany. Most engaging and organic Horns i've ever heard. This is what i would get if i wanted to buy Horns. https://www.odeon-audio.com/

Nice pair of Walnut CS 3.7s, they have the lastest COAXES like the ones i have : https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb6j32-thiel-cs3-7-full-range  
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
If Joseph is in your shortlist than definitely Perspective 2 Graphene, very engaging speakers. I’am a Thiel guy but really love Joseph speakers.

If you 2.7-3.7 owners plan to keep your speakers forever it might be a good idea to get the new black Coaxes at some point, your Thiels will sound just like new.

Check my system page i put 2 photos of my new Coaxes. I can tell you it's really worth the upgrade, my 3.7s have never sounded that good!!  
Review: Pass Labs XA160.8 Amplifier
Would love to try Pass XA160.8 monos paired with VAC Master linestage on my Thiel CS 3.7 speakers.

@dhoff01  I can put a pic in my virtual system page. My 3.7s are 12 years old, i don't know if it has to do with the fact that the old Coaxes are worn out but you can definitely hear the black ones sound much better at least in my system. The bl...

Well that’s it guys my 3.7s are like new, we mounted the new black Coaxes. I feel they do sound much better than the original chrome ones. The level of clarity is insane with the black ones just as if my 3.7s were upgraded. Really worth it guys... 
What is the most powerful SET tube amplifier?
Today it's most likely the NAT Audio Magma Evo 170w class A with the huge GM-100 tube.

@vair68robert The loose wire was on the crossover board, we redid a nice and clean solder under the board and the bass drive now finally works properly. Unfortunately it didn't fixe my sizzling tweeter problem so i decided to change both Coaxes, ...
