| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Charles1dad, my post was a direct response to a question Stevecham asked in the previous posts. The ability to reach a certain volume level is no way the only, or the most important criterion. One can listen to such volume levels with some frequen... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? The best customer service I've ever had, from any business, has been from Thiel. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s I know this is somewhat arbitrary, but I think a system with high end aspirations should be capable of 100 dB peaks. | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best I was referring to the Krell KSA 80, KSA 200, KMA 160, KMA 400s. | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Goerge, Krell had some Class A amps sans fans before Plateau Biasing, yes, with copious heat sinks. Still amongst my favorites. | |
| Best Rock Drummers Erikminer, mentioned Billy Cobham. Man, can that man play! I remember swimming wind sprints with his beats in my head. That'll move ya! | |
| Best Rock Drummers I don't know about best, and he's played various musical genre's, but I've always appreciated Steve Gadd. | |
| Dumb questions? I'd be careful when using wrenches, besides scuffing the posts and possibly devaluing the resale value, you might strip the posts. A tight connection is absolutely needed, hand tightening usually works. I have an old plastic "Postmaster" specifica... | |
| I've strayed.... It's those autoformers that make the Mac's behave more like tube amps. | |
| I've strayed.... You do realize that you might have picked the ss amps that might most behave like a typical tube amp? If your speakers really aren't tube friendly, you might not have picked the most appropriate ss amp. | |
| Wyred 4 sound vs Red Dragon digital mono blocks?? I think some of the progress in Class D amps has been due to better isolation of RF, etc.. Another difference between otherwise similar Class D amps, is the input impedance, some are more generous in their compatibility with tube pres. | |
| Manufacturer checkups Some older gear might be in need of some refurbishment, such as new caps, re-bias etc.. If the unit in question comes with detailed documentation of the "checkup", even if it was for a repair, I'd consider it a plus. | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? Westborn, your not alone. The link to Dae Harder's site is worth checking out, as are the archives here on Audiogon. | |
| How are Hig-End Speakers Priced? I think that's why we're starting to see catalogue merchants like Crutchfield starting to carry high end lines. | |
| Maybe a new amp for Thiel CS2 2? I don't suggest buying speakers for an amp, especially a ss amp that can't double down. The Thiel 2 2's aren't an especially a difficult load, for a Thiel anyway. For an amp that won't be harsh, with some grunt, and that would be compatible with y... |
