| Thiel Owners Thanks Unsound, your thinking makes sense to me. Re bright Thiels, it was the one thing I didn't like when I first got my 2.3s, but it can be tamed. For me it meant that each and every upgrade/improvement had address this, and room treatment amd... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks guys. Good to know re the MW KWA 150 SE, but it's in another league compared to the 100, spec and price wise. Dan didn't share any details in terms of peak current, his was just a quick response. I do have the newer tweeters, same as the... | |
| Thiel Owners Has anyone had success driving their Thiels with Modwright KWA 100SE? Dan's response via email struck me as honest but maybe conservative - he said "The Thiels are a high current speaker and difficult load. The 100SE can drive them, but not as we... | |
| Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps No power cords = much ado about nothing. Number of times I've had to reopen boxes to add the forgotten stock power cord = too numerous to remember. Number of complaints that shipment was missing the power cord = 0. Seller's response = not acce... | |
| Primaluna? In my room I've only had BAT but wonder about how it'd compare to PL, ARC, and especially Rogue. Yes replace all the tubes at the same time, else your mind will devour itself when you start hearing things that don't quite sound right. Best featu... | |
| How Big of a Difference? +1 for Morrow, that's where I started my cable journey due to the gaurantee, but I bet others (Blue jean, wireworld, anticables) could also deliver. For me, power cables and speaker cables make the most discernable difference, that and using XLRs... | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass Initially i was underwhelmed by adding a second sub. Sure it helped a bit with staging and loading the room but all in all it didnt seem like the gamechanger i expected. Fast forward and i'm trying a new amp, and whenever i make electronic chang... | |
| Help, which preamp to buy from my shortlist? I bought the Sonic Frontiers SLF1 last year and have greatly enjoyed it, fun rolling tubes and as every review says, the world's greatest remote! I don't have experience with SQ with any other preamps on your list, but the SLF1 in my room doesn't... | |
| Tiny bridges everywhere, but why? leftover corks? doesn't get any more lower cost, unless you don't drink liquids that come from corked bottles, that would make them more expensive. | |
| What process do you use to purchase cables? Here's my process for cables - a) determine what I'm willing top spend - for me and my system it's been up to $500 new or used. More than this is hard for ME to rationalize.b) see what Music Direct has on sale (usually free returns, which I have ... | |
| Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. Re Thiels being harsh, I guess I'd counter with equipment matching is something you need to very much take into consideration with Thiels, and IMO the Rogue 100 wpc tubes will be a great start. The upside is midrange tone and timber esp w/ tubes ... | |
| Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. Agree with the SF recommendation, also Thiel CS 2.3s or 2.4 might work nicely for you. Hard to drive but my 2.3s sound great with BAT VK55 (55 wpc, tube) and based on Herb's review and other Thiel users, I have to think the Rogue is more than up... | |
| Bryston, McIntosh, Krell or Mark Levinson And am now adding the LSA Voyager to the list. | |
| Bryston, McIntosh, Krell or Mark Levinson I have the same speakers, and on my list of amps to consider are Ayre, Parasound A21 or 21+, and Benchmark (if I recall Tom Thiel uses these as a reference for his Thiel hot rodding projects). Currently I run a Krell 350il coupled with a tube pre... | |
| Speaker Road Trip dadark - inspiring story to me bc I know I will be driving and listening when I get to the point of upgrading speakers, which frankly I dread but know it has to be done at some point, thanks for sharing, your experience makes me dread this process... |
