| I've been gifted a pair of Thiel CS2s I ran the same speakers for many years, in various rooms. Your room is too small. Perhaps something like Thiel's SCS's might work. | |
| Upgrade Hafler 9500 or Mccormack DNA-1 for Thiels I've heard them all with the Thiel 3.5's, but honestly don't remember the sound of the Hafler with them. To my ears the c-j worked best. The McCormack, while a perfectly lovely amp with other speakers (Vandersteens!) were too forward and shouty to... | |
| Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K? The McCormack amps are wonderful amps, and terrific values, but IME they sound very different sound than the B&K ST 140, and each might be better used with different speakers. | |
| Should I fix my plasma? As a general guide, the best values tend to be at the lowest end of a manufacturers best line of panels/series. Don't discount the value of extra size. While one very often hears buyers complaining that they wish they went bigger, one rarely hears... | |
| upgrade Vandersteen speakers It behooves one to look in all directions before proceeding. My original recommendation still stands. | |
| upgrade Vandersteen speakers Dear John, If one comes out of the dark, then one may see that does have hooves. | |

| Frequency Response Please consider that the frequency response should be accommodated by the room in which they will be placed in. | |
| Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K? Many moons ago I used an ST140, and went to a conrad-johnson ss amp, the c-j was similar in many ways, but better in all. | |
| Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity Kenneythekey, suggests a very good point. You might want to stick with a company that has earned the reputation for good customer service and appears to have the legs to continue. Thiel is nonpareil in this regard. I use even older 3.5's, and woul... | |
| Should I fix my plasma? I'd hazard a guess that going new might make more sense in the long run. | |
| upgrade Vandersteen speakers I understand just fine, I just suggest that whenever anyone hears anyone selling with that line, they pause and consider all the potential motives that might be in play (including the sincere ones). | |
| upgrade Vandersteen speakers IME, Richard Vandersteen has always seemed to be a straight shooter, but saying; things I currently sell are better than things I no longer sell, and things I currently sell for more are better than what I currently sell for less, is cause for pau... |
