@prof very interesting feedback, is your carpet thick or not ? you don't have stability problems without the carpet disks ? I should get my Gaia 2s with the carpet disks next week, will try with and without the carpet disks.

@gryphon1972 I’ve owned the 1.5s for many years and gave them to my brother when i purchased 3.7s back in 2014. Your room is definitely too small you should use them in your living room. My bro is driving them with a Classe CAP-151 integrated, r... 
How long does it take a decent quality speaker to "wear out"?
I have a pair of Thiel CS 3.7s from 2011 that should last forever, i take really good care of them no sun light and the drivers are all aluminum. Might only upgrade the crossovers one day with top of the line Mundorf caps. I already upgraded the... 
Vitus versus Gryphon
I have owned the Diablo 300 for a year and can tell you it was a very bad match for my Thiel CS 3.7 speakers. If your speakers tend to be bright than don’t buy the Diablo 300 you will regret it as i did. Vitus is much more musical, liquid soundi...

@swede58  The Diablo 300 is a very bad match for Thiel speakers that's for sure. Bass was terrible on my Thiel, very lean and not musical and very bright trebel. I'm sure the Diablo 300 is a very good integrated but not with Thiel speakers!

This Brama integrated looks like a very nice piece of gear, most likely the only one with 300B linestage.

@bas79 Congrats on your 7.2s they must sound spectacular with Strumento no.4 amp! I might get a pair of 7.2s in the future when i will be able to build my dedicated listening room.  
Audionet HUMBOLDT Integrated Amp Review WOW !...
I’ve demoed it in my system, definitely the best integrated at any price!  
Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ?
I also use Cardas Clear Beyond XLR between my Aqua Formula xHD DAC and my Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 integrated amp and Clear Beyond SC to my Thiel CS 3.7s speakers. I've demoed several top notch cables in my system and in the end Clear Beyond were the on... 
Ethernet cable recommendations
If you want the richest full body Ethenet cables definitely go for the Pink Faun Interlink, i have 3 of them in my system.

@fredorama I've owned the Diablo 300 for a year but unfortunately it didn't work out for my speakers, it was way too bright in the trebel and bass was not impressive at all. I sold it a couple of month ago and purchased a Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 which ... 
Pass Labs Speaker Choices
Pass Monos with Thiel speakers great synergy.

I'm also waiting for my Gaia 2 footers with the carpet disks, hope this will work out for my 3.7s.  
Power conditions for Integrated Amps
My Vitus SIA-025 MkII direct into wall and all my digital into AQ Niagara 3000. I use the Furutech gold plated copper wall sockets.
