| Classe move to China As things currently stand, it devalues the brand in my mind. Over time that might change, but that will take some real time to happen. | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Cal3713, went back and read the entire thread. I still don't see a direct recommendation from Nelson Pass for the XA30.5 for the Thiel CS 2.4's. The OP does seem to vastly prefer the XA30.5 to the X250.5, but with the caveat of not having to play ... | |
| Efficient speakers with high powered ss amp? IME, less efficient speakers tend to sound better than very high efficient speakers. | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Cal3713, I don't read that as Nelson Pass specifically recommending the XA30.5 over the rest of the comparably priced Pass line for the Thiel 2.4's, only as a recommendation below 20 Watts. Seems like a highly qualified recommendation for a speake... | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Just glancing at the sales feedback of those who have contributed to this thread seems to suggest that the assertion that "most people do no enjoy the selling process so do not" might be an overstatement, especially amongst those that have been ac... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Did "...Nelson Pass explicitly recommend it over the other comparably priced amps in the line." for the Thiel CS 2.4's? Thiel suggests 100-400 Watts for the 4 Ohm nominal 3 Ohm minimum 87 dB/2.8V/m CS 2.4's. | |

| Please Advise me on Building a System on a Budget You've determined your budget, good so far. Now I'd suggest determining what you think you'll need, then what might work in your room, then decide on your speakers, before committing to specific amplification choices. | |
| alternative to maggies? There might be more ways to skin a cat, than alternatives to Maggies. :-) I don't know if these will help your problem, but perhaps Eminent Technology LFT's or Museatex Audio Systems MEL's? | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Please forgive me for not answering your direct question, but I can't help but wonder if Cmalak is onto something. You might get more satisfaction from putting the money towards a higher powered amplifier. | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Schubert, carefully chosen used components retain much of their value for a fair amount of time. Such components can often be resold for close to their purchase price, perhaps sans shipping costs. Heck, sometimes one can actually turn a profit. Al... | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl If you have a decent sized vinyl collection in decent condition, I suggest "...Staying with" Analog and Vinyl", if not then I'd suggest moving on. FWIW, I made such a consideration some time ago, besides having a tuner, I'm analogless. | |
| Please Advise me on Building a System on a Budget IMHO, unless you already have a decent vinyl collection, you'd be better off spending the bulk of your $2K on speakers and amplification, etc., and reconsider analog when more money might become available. | |
