| Looking For Internet Radio Recommendations I believe both Grace and Sangean both make something that might meet all your criterion with perhaps the exception of AM. Of course you can usually access an AM simulcast via Internet. | |
| TV 1080P resolution The benefits of 1080 P occur with relation to screen size and viewing distance. | |
| Vacuum tube preamp? IMHO, the Thiel CS 2's are best driven with a warm ss amp. With that said, as suitably compatible tube pre is a very good idea. With your budget I would consider a used conrad-johnson PV 10 BL. Which BTW would work very nicely with a used conrad-j... | |
| Purpose of using same speakers for surround? Not one manufacturer has yet to produce a completely neutral speaker. Not only do different designer/manufactures deviate from neutrality differently, but even models from the same manufacturer deviate differently from each other. With that said; ... | |

| Has LED caught up to Plasma? I agree the "THX" settings do seem pretty extreme. The SMPTE guideline seem to be more appropriate, at least to me. | |
| Recondition my 1986 Thiel CS1.0 or buy new? Jerryboy66, Thiel might have used drivers that appeared to off the shelf items, but they were in fact modified to his specifications. | |
| Has LED caught up to Plasma? Chadnliz, that might be your personal preference, but it doesn't conform to any established guidelines I'm familiar with:http://myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html | |
| Amp for Thiel CS 2? I ran the CS 2's for many years, and tried a variety of amps with them. More often than not, they're better with a dedicated power amp. I did have nice sounds with an Electrocompaniet integrated. A bit of an off electronic flavor, and somewhat dar... | |
| Which TOWERs work well CLOSE to the BACK WALL? Gradient, some Linns, if in a corner, some Klipschs. . Some of these might only be available used and perhaps for a lot less money. I'd be cautious of using most panel speakers with rear output. Not so sure about your room, lots of glass is usuall... | |
| Has LED caught up to Plasma? Snideness aside (considering what many on Audiogon spend on audio, his wasting remark is misplaced, and uncalled for here) Rayray's point is not without merit. If one could find a Kuro (not easy, but possible), if the 60" maxiumum screen size woul... | |
| MOSFET's vs Bipolar's Nelson Pass has also used bipolars in the past. | |
| Amp for Thiel CS 2? The CS 2's have a nominal impedance of 6 Ohms and a minimum impedance of 5 Ohms. | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? The more sensitive the speaker the more likely the noise floor will be higher, and the softer end of the dynamic scale will more likely to be negatively affected. | |
| Has LED caught up to Plasma? I agree with Fplanner, though there are even bigger plasmas. |
