| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? The last three SS amps I have used were all nice. The big Krells are the best of the three with my Thiels.Krell FPB 650M, Ayre K-1xe, Parasound JC-1s. | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 The bass seems a little stronger and deeper with the 7.2. But the bass is very good with the 3.7. I listened to the 3.7 with both a smart sub and without one and the differences seemed more in a better soundstage with the sub than added bass prese... | |

| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 Danhirsh,My wife and I got to spend a few hours with the 3.7 yesterday. Listened to some vinyl and digital and came to the conclusion that we will not give up our 7.2s and cash (selling them used) to get the 3.7s. They are very good speakers! Grea... | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 The 3.7s have been at the Audio Alternative outside of Atlanta for around two weeks now. i have been working so much I have not had a chance to go in and spend some time with them. I will head that way tomorrow for a couple hours of listening time. | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield They will probably push the higher end Marantz and PS Audio gear with the Thiels. However I would think anyone spending $10K for the 3.7 speakers would have some idea what they need to sound there best. | |
| Headroom Max $3000 headphone amp. Opinions anyone? Check out singlepoweraudio.com, Ray samuels, and headamp.com for amps that compete with and IMO at the same $$$ level better the Headroom amps in most cases. You can find reviews on line and alot of info at www.head-fi.org | |
| Upgrade from Scoutmaster? Not sure if I quite reached "WOW" factor. But got to a serious "OH YEAH" when I went from my Scoutmaster/17D2 MKII(non-sig) combo to the Superscoutmaster/XX-2(signature) combo. | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 From talking to Gary at Thiel the replacement for the CS7.2 is a long way off. I guess for that time the 3.7 is the top of the line offering.The 7.2 is no longer......(except at my house where I hope they live forever) | |
| PrimaLuna CD Player? One of the links says 1395.00 and the other 2495.00. I am going to guess the higher price is the right one. | |

| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Everything is done either through her paypal account or with CC, so I dont even try to hide anything. We pretty much decide what we want, and whats the best gear we can afford to get there, and buy it. She listens to the system almost as much as I... | |

| AHs anyone heard the new Ayre MX-R mono blocs? Buffyjames,I bet your system sounds awesome. I have heard the Quatros with the K-5XE and V-5XE along with the CX-7E CDP and a VPI turntable. The sound was very good. The soundsatage was great. I can only imagine that the next level from both compa... | |
| Thiel 3.7 I'm suprised to see Chrutchfield branching out from the Polk, Infinity, and Bose speaker lines. I wonder whay kind of amplification they are going to offer to go with the Thiel speakers? |
