| Thiel Owners Tom and 'tweak,Yes, as a matter of fact it was QSC model USA 850. My only critical observation was that it could have had a bit more "filling out" or saturationof the colors. But even so...Tom, I remember you posting here a while back re the Bench... | |
| Thiel Owners Just an aside in response to the amp mini-thread that preceded Tom's last post:I've had Thiels in my system since the mod-90s. First the 2 2, now for the last three years, the 3.7. Recently, the sound from the speakers has been breaking up. It sou... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Is there a technical reason that the "double down" ratio keeps popping up?For instance, the DMA_400 listed above does not do this in sequence from 8 ohms to 4 to 2, but as I run the numbers it seems more than adequate. Is that right, or ... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound,Yikes -- I pasted the specs for the DMA-300 into the DMA-400 slot. To amend: Power Output DMA-400 (continuous) @ 8 oh... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Thanks for your post. Re the specs -- I merely copy/pasted them off the current Spectral site, and copied the Thiel data directly from my 3.7 owner's manual. Those are the only sources I know of -- are there others?Todd | |
| Thiel Owners OK, I realize this is getting somewhat off the forum topic, but the folks at Berkeley Audio tell me that they run the Alpha DAC directly into Spectral amps, with excellent results.So right now, I'm looking at the Spectral DMA-300. Specs as follows... | |
| Thiel Owners @rascThanks for the detailed and timely response. There are many reasons I'd like to try Spectral, but I've gone without a preamp for quite a while now (only way to go at least for me) and don't know if I could keep that up with only a Spectral am... | |
| Thiel Owners @ rascs Finally, someone with Spectral/Thiel! I'm currently on the "mid-burner" spectrum to upgrade my Classe 300 amp that I use with my 3.7s. Tell us,is that a full Spectral ensemble, or just the amp, or what? Thanks! | |
| Thiel Owners thielrules --Which subs are you using, again? Sorry--I'm sure you listed it in the thread, but it's a long thread! | |
| Thiel Owners prof, re your reply to Dsper above: it's getting somewhat tedious to constantly read the same thing from you on cables. We all know how you feel, no need for constant reiteration. It's like saying over and over "I'm cognitively challenged and I ex... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom -- speaking as a 3.7 owner, and presuming for all of us here as well, yes, I think we are all waiting with baited breath to read your extended thoughts on this latest Lexington Thiel encounter!Todd | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW, those 2.2s at TMR were mine. I sold them to the shop a few weeks ago. An excellent outfit. The 2.2s were terrific speakers but I hadn't used them since acquiring the 3.7s a few years ago. I can vouch for the 9/10 condition. We treated them V... | |
| Thiel Owners This is a little late regarding the preamp discussion a few days ago, but I just wanted to chime in: I'm very happy with no preamp whatsoever. I run a Berkeley Alpha DAC directly into the amplifier, which goes directly to my 3.7s. Sounds fabulous... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom - I've been considering an upgrade to my Classe CA-300 that powers my 3.7s, so I checked out the specs to the Benchmark amp you listed. The short question I have is: is this enough power? Obviously you consider that to be the case, but in an a... | |
| Thiel Owners rwmeditz,Very impressed that you had a class with Paul Jacobs. Excellent, innovative pianist who died way too early. Many of his Nonesuch recordings have yet to be reissued, unfortunately.Re the Thiel 2.2 discussion here: I just shipped mine off ... |
