| Thiel 2.4 or 3.6, which to get? Neither the 2.4's or the 3.6's can match the depth of bass or the overall coherence of the 3.5's, and even with the demands of the 3.5's eq, the 3.5's are much easier for an amplifier to drive. On the other hand the the 2.4's and the 3.6's are mor... | |
| System very bright after adding Mcintosh amp I'll hazard a guess as to why the B&W's sound bright with the McIntosh amplification: Perhaps the B&W's have a varied impedance, and the due to the McIntosh's use of auto-formers, the dBW output of the McIntosh amps is higher into higher i... | |
| FM Radio is dead ....R.I.P Mitch4t, that was an older product, they sold out the entire run in short time. There were other fine tuners like the Carver TX-11b that had superior AM too. There was a time, when a a few stations did broadcast high quality AM. I was responding t... | |

| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s No, I don't. | |
| Sometimes Less is More? I think this quite obvious, after all one can't fit 5 Lbs. of sugar in a 1 Lbs. sack. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Stevecham, the Thiel 2.4's don't measure at 88 dB 1 Watt at 1 meter. They measure 88 dB 2.83V at 1 meter. If my understanding is correct(?), if you take into the consideration the actual impedance of the speakers, you'll find that Thiel 2.4's are ... | |
| Impedance Matching - Tube Amp/Speakers FWIW, in my conversations with the late great John Dunlavy, he had a strong preference for ss, and especially Class D amplification. | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Love to see that brochure. In any event, they sure fooled me. Still thought they were great sounding amps. I couldn't get past the sound of those fans on their predecessors. | |
| Impedance Matching - Tube Amp/Speakers Once again, Al offers excellent advice. | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Georgelofi, I did see your link. I believe that at the time Mark Levinson was building those amps, he was charting fairly new territory, and those amps were overbuilt. Compare the size, weight & number of chassis, to a newer Class A amp capabl... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Stevecham, do the math. | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Goergelofif, the Krell KSA 80 and KSA 200 (and their mono counterparts the KMA 160's and KMA 400's) preceded the KSA 250 by a couple of years and were of different design generations.http://www.krellonline.com/history.html | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Stevecham, I suspect that with the Thiel CS 2.4's set up as the Thiel recommends, that at 100 dB the conrad-johnson CAV50 would be well into clipping. |
