| Thiel Owners @thoft, the DR version is the predecessor to the slightly different, more recent "regular" non-DR designated follow up. | |
| 100 watts enough? @charles1dad, I haven't recommended higher powered amplification here. I agree with most of yours and Kijanki's posts, though I don't think 92 dB is all that loud, and I think the OPs rather large room is a consideration. IMHO, while 100 dB is mos... | |
| 100 watts enough? 71dB seems low to me. I would have thought something like 80 dB would be more typical. | |
| Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205 If you just got the Sony, you might want to burn it in at it's neutral settings before doing a calibrating. | |
| Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205 Doesn’t the Oppo 205 have Dolby Vision too? OPPO UDP-205 4K Ultra HD Audiophile Blu-ray Disc Player (oppodigital.com) | |
| Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205 I’m surprised you find the Oppo’s video processing unsatisfactory. Many might consider it amongst the finest. Perhaps if you could calibrate one input setting on the Sony to optimize compatibility with the Oppo’s video output? | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? Working towards becoming "analogless". | |
| Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205 It seems as though others have also found trouble getting Sony TV's to play nice with the Oppo 205. Here are some suggestions that might (?) work for your. When changing HDMI inputs/outputs unplug the devices, the reboot can sometimes help. Try fi... | |
| Speaker sensitivity Higher sensitivity speakers are more susceptible to noise contamination. | |
| 100 watts enough? It is a fairly large space to fill, on the other hand you are not typically seeking high volume levels. Many amp designers suggest that amplifiers are typically at their most linear when operating at about 20% of their output and further suggest h... | |
| Pass 350.5 vs Bryston 14-BSS2 vs Mark Levinson 33(n) @p_s You have already read my mind. If you have a ..."very big (residential) room"... I'd suggest spending a bit less on amplification, and more on bigger speakers. If not 20.7's, perhaps 3 series Maggies. | |
| Thiel Owners @dmac67 Consider the resale value of modified gear can often be compromised. As for the compatibility of your Krell 400xi integrated with Thiel 3.6’s: Thiel CS3.6 loudspeaker Specifications | Stereophile.com Thiel CS3.6 loudspeaker Measurements |... | |
| Thiel Owners @dmac67 for about the same price one can often find less risky originals. Jim Thiel modeled his crossovers to compensate for the specific drivers he chose. | |
| B&K ST-140 amplifier buying decision $300 seems a tad high, but it’s not like there’s that much room to come down from that price.While a pretty nice sounding amp considering the price point, they are not at all suited for use with speakers with with low minimum impedances. | |
| Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers Jim Thiel mostly used Threshold S500, then Krell FPB600 when designing his speakers. |
