re: Stereo Exchange in NYC, before the net and Audiogon, et al, my friends and I would get excited as we came towards Presidents day; as Stereo Exchange would have their annual sale, great prices on everything, but especially used gear, and they s...

^Dan Dagastino's Krell separates are usually a very good fit with Thiels.

^Budget?

Jafant, as for recommendations, well it's just so personal. I've  given you considerations from Thiel 2.4's perspective. Your room and the desired volume potential, as well as what you might have proceeding the amplification should be considered. ...

^right time frame, wrong specifics. Brain fart. Considering my history of clumsiness, I suspect everyone here's future is quite promising!Best to all, and a very happy Thanksgiving!

^Good catch! Must have been a senior moment. Nelson Pass was actually working for ESS not Phase Linear. Sorry about that! 
Thiel Owners
oblgny, jafant, well not exactly. Nelson Pass worked at Phase Linear before co-starting Threshold where he developed amongst other things the acclaimed Stasis and optical bias designs which he sold with the company when the economy had a downturn,...

Jafant, I would recommend an amp capable of a minimum of 300 Watts into 3 Ohms, and I would personally prefer double or more than that. The combination of a sub 3 Ohm minimum impedance and challenging phase angle is likely to make most tube amps l...

Jafant, are you sure about that short list for the Thiel 2.4 SE's?http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs24-loudspeaker-measurements#0RqHTvKEMC4Xqcgd.97

richardp01, I some how feel somewhat responsible for causing you some level of neurosis over the eq. Every room is different, and as Jafant has wisely noted, we all hear differently. Keep the eq in case you move. In the mean time, as I'm not in th...

oblgny,  Sell the mistakenly purchased eq. The 3.5's eqs are just plain better. It'll end up just collecting dust. I've got a bunch of assorted boxes doing just that. Someone else might actually need it. 
Thiel Owners
oblgny, I would caution you on assuming that the later Thiel 3.6's are better than the earlier 3.5's. Many would agree with that, but I don't. I much prefer the earlier 3.5's, much like I prefer the earlier 5i's to the later models. 
Thiel Owners
oblgny,  Let me guess; you bought an eq for Thiel 3's instead of 3.5's? The 3.5's eq was a nice upgrade over the 3's eq. I have admit, considering how the eq works, the bi-wireable binding posts on the 3's  would appear to be a good option with eq...

oblgny, Any updates?
