| A question for fans of Threshold amplifiers @Ping7507, Are you sure you have a 550 “e”? The earlier 500 non-e versions had only one. The later new owner’s made in China “5000e” might only have one as well. | |
| amplifier with volume control “Ultimate Attenuators” used to be offered by EVS. These were volume pots that at one end could be directly inserted into the input jacks of amplifiers and the other ends could accept cables from a source. Not all amplifiers rear panel arrangemen... | |
| volume question CD versus FM radio Your Sony CD spinner has a standard red book 2 Volt output. Most radio stations compress their broadcast signal for their listeners, who might be in automobiles, or otherwise might be inconvenienced due to listening environments or equipment limit... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Thiel CS 2.4 Speakers You’ll need amplification capable of a minimum of 400 Watts per channel into 2 Ohms, and depending on room size and desired volume levels, you’ll probably be better of with at least double that. Slim pickings when it comes to intergrateds with suc... | |

| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, re: your earlier post re: bi- or tri- amping the CS 5's; this would require modifications, 2 to 3 more outlets, 2 to 3 more shelves, 2 to 3 more power cords, 2 to 3 more pairs of interconnects, 2 to 3 more pairs of speaker cables. The... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, What would the minimum impedance be? | |
| Thiel Owners @woodysticks May I ask what the cost of the 3.5 midrange replacement alternatives are per pair? | |
| Thiel Owners @esprits4s The CS 5i’s had different woofers than the original CS 5’s , a nice upgrade. | |
| Widow Needs Advice--Marantz AV 7005 Counter offer to split the difference. BTW, Shipping is typically paid for by the buyer. | |
| Thiel Owners If I might add to @tomthiels ‘ comments; though both the 3.5’s and 2 2’s had power amp recommendations of between 50 and 250 Watts ( using standard 8 Ohm power ratings, rather than actual specific load recommendations ), as well as the lower lower... | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft’s suggestion has merit. At low volume levels in a small room one can get away with 100 Watts @ 4 Ohms, but one should keep in mind that even with an accommodating impedance rise in the range at which the equalizer does it’s thing, the eq st... | |
