| Speaker recommendations Your gear would work well with the Vandersteens, but IMHO, they might not fit the ease of placement criterion. | |
| Does impedance matter? A speaker with a higher impedance might theoreticaly sound better, and even then within some limits, but in practice that isn't always the case. I have yet to hear speakers with a "high" impedance load that I would care to own. | |
| Wattage 4 or 8 ohms? I'm sorry for getting a bit off topic here, but in some instances a higher powered amp might sound better even at volumes that could be handled by a lower powered amplifier. In some class A/AB amplifiers designs the bias of class A before going in... | |
| Wattage 4 or 8 ohms? I've got no argument with you'r table. One can easily see that there is quite an increase in power from 86dB to 104dB. IMHO, and this might be more so with ss than tubes, that one would probably be better off staying away from an amplifiers ceilin... | |
| Wattage 4 or 8 ohms? Those peaks increase exponentialy, and to do it cleanly might require a significant increase in watts. The extra power might not be required that often, but, we are talking about the "high end" here, with it's implication of the pursuit the total ... | |
| Thiel CS 2 2 vs. Vandersteen 2CE Audioconnection, your entitled to you'r opinion, I agree that the Vandy 2's have improved in this regard, but, I still think the Thiel 2's still have the advantage with regard to ease of room placement. OTOH, the Vandy 4 and 5's are easier than th... | |

| Wattage 4 or 8 ohms? Tonywinsc, Jim Thiel has told me himself that (at least with his older models) that his power recommendations are based on standard 8 Ohm amp ratings, and the assumption that the customer is choosing high quality ss amps that are capable of "doubl... | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll The Beatles are a remarkable influence in culture. They transcended genres with a positive progession of music both artisticaly and technologicaly with out sacrafising the roots, they extracted and expanded different cultures with out sacrafising ... | |
| what is the rule of thirds? Pryso, you beat me to it. I'm not sure, but I believe that Peter Walker of Quad fame might have been one of,if not the first to promote the "rule of thirds".If at all possible, if one can avoid even multiples from ceiling, floor as well as length ... | |
| what is the rule of thirds? While the rule of thirds is a good starting point for most, that's all it is; a starting point. It assumes that one is using a desirable room w/o even multiple dimensions. And that might be the best premise of this guide, using uneven dimensions t... | |
| Wattage 4 or 8 ohms? There isn't a universal answer. In my case, as per the manufacturer, the power recommendations are based on the standard 8 Ohm power rating for amplifiers, but, the manufacturer assumes that one is using a high quality ss amp that "doubles down" a... | |
