What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased?
Thiel CS 3.7, thanks to my wife i bought a second pair after having sold the first pair lol  
Cables to settle brightness
Another vote for Cardas Clear Reflection, definitely smooth and musical. I personally use Cardas Clear Beyond IC and SC but my system is not bright.  
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
I have 5 SR Purple fuses in my system, definitely worth it!  
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Borresen 05 Silver Supreme Edition. I've heard the whole line even the new M1.

In my experience what made the biggest difference driving my CS 3.7s is going from class A/B to class A amp. I had a Gryphon Diablo 300 before and replaced it by a Vitus SIA-025 Mk2, the difference is really huge in terms of grip and musicality.

My Bro is driving my old pair of 1.5s with a Classe CAP-151 integrated, he's really happy with the combo.

Did some of you change the original binding posts for aftermarket ones like Mundorf gold plated pure copper ? And would that make any difference ?  
Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7

Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp)
A used Vitus SIA-025 Mk1. I have Mk2 version in my system right now.

@jafant  How does your Ayre integrated get along with your 2.4SE ? Do you have enough juice to drive them and does it get really hot ?    
Thiel Owners
@jafant No i’m into streaming only now with my Aqua LinQ and Formula DAC. Very happy with this combo. Just wanted to find a much more musical integrated than my Diablo 300 and i think i found it with the Vitus.

@jafant Yes i did have the Audia Flight FLS10 on loan for a week but it just cannot compete against the Vitus 025 and the Audio Analogue Asbolute. The 2 latter ones are in a complete different league!

Hi guys, lately i've been auditioning 2 great integrated with my 3.7s the Audio Analogue Absolute and the Vitus SIA-025 Mk2. After several days of compare my pick is the Vitus, it is smoother and more liquid sounding than the Audio Analogue both ...
