| Celebration Cartridge w/VPI table & arm? Thanks for all the help. I will probably hold off for awhile, or just save the Celebration money and put it towards a dynavector upgrade cartridge when the time comes. Thanks again for the help. | |
| Best phono preamp for Dynavector 20XL I'll second the Dynavector P75 phonostage. I have used one with both the 17D2 MKII and the for a short while with a XX2 cartridge. They work very well with the Dynavector cartridges. | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts Rustler, I might be completely wrong here, but I dont think I would risk my investment in either the Manley or the Cary int. amps in hope they would drive the Thiels to what they are capable of. I think if you do hear and decide on the Thiels you ... | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts The Parasound JC-1 monoblocks have been a real treat paired with my Thiel CS7.2 speakers. I was worried when I bought the speakers if this pairing would work out or not. Very, very, good together.(Bat phonostage and preamp) I would think they woul... | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts Although not side by side I have had the chance to audition both the VR4jr and Thiel 2.4 recently. To my ears in the systems they were in the Thiels were the better speakers. A sence of ease and flow the VR4jr could not compete with. Systems were ... | |

| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? The Thiel CS7.2 have put a complete stop of looking, and also have removed any envy I might had for any other speakers.Also once I started adding BAT gear to my system I have not even considered using any other electronics.(except better BAT gear ... | |

| Looking for floorstanders in the 7-8K range? The 2.4s are really nice in a smaller or medium sized room. As a matter of fact I have heard them in quite a large room with one of the Thiel subs, and that what lead me on my 7.2 hunt. I also cant wait to hear the 3.7. | |
| Looking for floorstanders in the 7-8K range? These comments are in no way a knock on the Sig IIIs as I think they are really hard to beat (my favorites) as an all round speaker in the under $5K range. But they can not compete with the CS7.2s. I think the Whispers by Legacy would be a closer ... | |
| Looking for floorstanders in the 7-8K range? I'm looking for some decent outrigger stands for the Thiels, any suggestions? Websites? | |
| Looking for floorstanders in the 7-8K range? Well I beleive I have completed my speaker hunt for quite some time. I have purchased a pr. of Thiel CS7.2s! I think I can build my system around them for years to come. They have been here a little over a week and are truly amazing speakers. Soun... | |
