| Help with new home Sorry to hear, that sounds similar to my situation.TBH, your first priority is a home that you like, you find livable, and lastly, has a room that will accommodate your gear. Don't get ahead of yourself on anything else (I work in real estate). Be... | |
| New Old Thiel CS6 Speakers--Too Harsh I didn’t have Thiels nearly that size (2.2’s) but still know exactly what you’re talking about. I originally demoed them with Spectral and McIntosh. My original environment was less than optimal, but a few years later I was able to build a dedicat... | |
