| Thiel Owners ^Well said! | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Answered this in the Thiel thread, but as it's more germane to this category, may I add a suggestion you pay special attention to the output impedance of the tube pre and the input impedance of the Class D amps your considering. | |
| Thiel Owners ^A lot of Class D amps might find the Thiel's impedance challenging.Jim Thiel thought Class D amps were best left to sub woofer use, of course a lot of Class D development has happened since then. | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo charles1dad, the importance of doubling down depends on how linear the impedance plot of the speakers are to begin with, and how much power can be delivered once there. The OP 3.7's have an admirably flat impedance plot, so it's less of an issue h... | |
| Thiel Owners jetter, I can only hazard guesses as to what Jim Thiel had in mind. But, first of all let's clear up the idea that the 3.7's lack bass, they have good clean bass until all but the deepest 1st octave. Perhaps, Jim Thiel thought that since most mu... | |
| Thiel Owners dlcockrum, by that way of thinking what's the difference between the Zen master and Charles Manson?:-) | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant, as the 3.7's are missing the first octave; they are not full range. For that sub woofer augmentation is necessary. The 3.7's have their own different qualities, attributes. All of the Thiel CS models have the same placement recommendations... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Thieliste, Some amplifiers halve their Class A output as they double down in impedance. Under powering a speaker, never lets the speaker perform optimally, increases distortion, and can potentially damage speaker drivers. Working and working well ... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Charles1dad, As Thiel recommends a minimum of 100 Watts at 2.83 V/m the Aelius would seem to qualify as a suitable candidate, depending of course on desired volume out put and room size. I think it worth noting that instead of doubling power i... | |
| Thiel Owners The 3.7's don't need that large a room. | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo It would appear as though the Yisilon Aelius II might not be as suitable below 4 Ohms, where these Thiels spend quite a bit of time. | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Gryphon hasn't had a US presence in some time, I knew they were pricey, but just not how pricey. I can certainly understand your position. I've always like those Krells with Thiels. But, hey, it's your money. | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo The D'Agostino shouldn't be troubled by any of those 3.Is Gryphon an option? Or, perhaps D'agostino era Krells? | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Yes, I think the D'Agostino's could drive theThiel 7.2's. Have you considered the Thiel CS 5i's? | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo No experience here. For your Thiel 3.7's, FWIW, going purely on the specs, in order:(1) D'Agostino Classic Stereo(2) PS Audio BHK 300 Mono(3) Modwright KWA 150 SE |
