| Review: Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD Player Platsolos, you've captured the essence of what I hear with the Opus 21 in my system. In particular I like the way the Opus 21 remains uncongested, even on the most complex music, and it's musical drive is outstanding. Similar to Naim players, but ... | |
| verdict on thiel 2.4? I've posted on the 2.4 a couple of times now. I've owned Thiel CS7.2s, downsized to DAL SC-IIIs/pair Vandersteen 2Wqs/M5 crossover, and now own the CS2.4s, with no sub for music. The CS2.4 brings back into my listening room many of the qualities I... | |
| How's the analog volume control on the Opus 21? I run my Opus 21 directly into my amp which ims sounds better than the SF Line 3 it replaced. To further determine if the Opus 21's volume control could be improved on my neighbor let me borrow his Placette passive. Using the same ics (Pure Note E... | |
| Anybody heard the new Thiel 2.4? Akkadict, its been three years since I had the 2.3s in my room, and the pair I listened to had the original coax. From what I recall the 2.4 is fuller sounding, and actually sounds like a larger speaker. I think partly due to the fuller and more e... | |
| Anybody heard the new Thiel 2.4? I have another 24hrs on my 2.4s and the quality of the bass has improved noticeably. Overall the bass is nicely balanced with the rest of the spectrum and now has a greater sense of ease and depth, especially at higher volumes. I don't get the sen... | |
| Anybody heard the new Thiel 2.4? Zaikesman, I think my statement about the 2.4s being easy to drive should be qualified as 'relative to the larger Thiel models'. The CJ 2250 amp I heard the 2.4s with sounded open, detailed, and sweet, but lacked overall weight, especially in the ... | |
| Anybody heard the new Thiel 2.4? I just took delivery of a pair of 2.4s and have close to 40hrs on them. My initial impressions at the dealer above and in another dealer audition are still valid. Now that I have them in my system I'm even more impressed. The midrange is much bett... | |
| Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success? Jazzdude, Thiel's 8" woofer cone is on the smallish side. I have no worries though. I've auditioned the CS2.4s three times now, and the quality and quantity of bass produced is impressive for the CS2.4's size. Anybody considering these for a small... | |
| Meridian 565 vs. 561 Differences? The 561 is strictly digital, no analog bypass. It does have a wealth of analog inputs, however the signal is coverted to digital. There is one Toslink, and at least two digital rca inputs. The 561 uses 20 bit dacs as opposed to the 565 which is up... | |
| Anybody heard the new Thiel 2.4? Dealers are just getting their display 2.4s in the showrooms. The pair I listened to this weekend was received last week and had ~60hours on them. I thought they sounded very good considering this, but overall they sounded somewhat constrained acr... | |
| Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success? I called Thiel last week and they verified that the 2.4 has an 8" woofer. The 6.5" stated in the add is a typo. That's a pretty serious typo. I know I almost lost interest as a result. | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq corner placement? I have a pair of 2Wqs, one in each corner just behind my mains. The 2Wq manual suggests if you are using just one 2Wq that it should be located somewhere in the plane behind the mains, especially if your mains roll off before 40hz. The higher this... | |
| Opinions, Classe Omega verse Levinson 333 or 336 The Classe Omega Omicron (slightly smaller version of the Omega) was much more musical in my previous system than the ML336 I auditioned. Both are very powerful amps that can drive most any speaker load. To me the Classe has a more even tonal bala... | |
| Plinius class A vs. class AB sound difference? I own the SA-102, so I'm not sure if my observations will be the same compared to the SA-100. I can hear a distinct difference between A and AB, although much of the sonic character is maintained in both modes. Class A provides a more focused, lay... | |
| grainy sounding high end system I found the treble and upper midrange on my SC-IIIs somewhat hashy, dry and grainy before installing 3 Audiopoints on each of the plinths. The Audiopoints made the sound much more cohesive from top to bottom, and greatly enhanced focus and clarity... |
