| Pick a preamp for my system: Ayre or MBL I have used the Ayre K-1XE in my system with the Krell 650M amps and the combo was very good together. Its strengths are just what you are looking for. Resolving, excellent imaging and soundstage, fast and deep bass, and tons of detail. Have not h... | |

| Meridian G08 versus Wadia 581se Psacanli,I have not heard the new Wadias but I did have the G08 in my system for almost two weeks, and heard it in two other systems. IMO, it is over rated. It is a boring, lifeless, and just not engaging at all. I have also heard the Classe on tw... | |
| Blown CS7.2 Tweeter/midrange I am using the FPB 650M monoblocks. But someday when my wallet is fatter, I am going to go with the 750 cxm monoblocks. :) Whats funny is I had never been a big fan of the Krell amps until I heard them with the Thiels. | |
| Blown CS7.2 Tweeter/midrange Heres hoping its just a driver issue. | |
| Blown CS7.2 Tweeter/midrange Judging from what I have used with my thiels i would think you need more amp. even when using my Ayre V-1XE it became compressed at times when driven loud and was always running very hot trying to push the Thiels. it is rated at 200/8 and 400/4. I... | |

| Parasound HCA-3500: Which aftermarket power cords? I used the LAT International AC-2s for years with my 3500. Can be found used here for under 150.00. | |
| Parasound Halo A21 or Rotel RB-1090? This is comparing the sound of the systems probably more than anything, so take it with a grain of salt. I think the A21 is probably a little more refined than the 3500. However it (or system it was in) did not have the presence of the 3500. midba... | |
| Parasound Halo A21 or Rotel RB-1090? I owned the Rotel and the Parasound HCA-3500 at the same time. I liked the Parasound alot more, more dynamic, much better bass. In comparison the Rotel had a veiled sound. Sold the Rotel. i have heard the A21 (thought it was nice)but not in my sys... |
