| Wife wants a black faced receiver to replace Rotel Jerry Rice! Black, silver or otherwise, they don't make them like him anymore, still the best. You'll be dancing with the stars. | |
| Amp Designs That Are Able To Drive 4/2 Ohms Load I suppose they're are two schools of thought. One that believes that amps should drive speakers and one that believes speakers should accomodate amps. I'm (currently) from the former. No matter how challenging, we have amps that can successfully d... | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? Honestly, I think you have a big dog that you can't afford to feed. Sure, you can keep the dog alive, but he'll never be all that he's capable of. I think both the B&K M 200's and the Classe' amps will adequately keep you going. I ran the M200... | |
| b&k st 140 and 4 ohm speakers Not the best match. | |
| Most helpful audio companies Thiel! | |
| Tube/SS synergy? If you really want to stick with a tube pre, you may still be able to do so, though the options are limited. The better Sonic Frontier pre's are DC coupled low output impedance and I beleive the Atma-Sphere pre's might work too. There may be other... | |
| Tube/SS synergy? I might agree with Rhljazz, but for different reasons. The Pass Lab's amps with their low-input impedance might not be the first choice for use with the typically high out-put impedance of most tube pres. | |
| audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal Gee, I wasn't the least bit offended. The results were about what I would expect, if not even a bit better. Considering, as has already been commented on, the brevity, and unfamiliarity with room (which as we all know is extremely important), all ... | |
| Best Ceiling Speakers? Thiel also makes flush mounted power points, but I'd imagine that the slanted ones would perform better in most applications. Just as a suggestion, rather than opening a thread with "Best" here on Audiogon, you might want to mention your budget. A... | |

| Alpha Core Goertz I have long forgotten this thread. To go back and respond to Willster's questions. I was referrring to (and rather poorly in retrospect) the "reactive oscillations" that you more properly described. I don't consider the zobels as either a tweak or... | |
| Vandersteen 5A biwire shotgun absolutely required? Cable Company. | |
| Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system FWIW, I really liked Alpha-Core Goertz MI 2 speaker cables when I used a ss c-j power amp. | |
| Are passive preamps better? I've run source directly to amp, not so good, but that was more likely due to a cheap source. I've run a couple of passive systems, good. The last few years have all been active, a bit better. Passive systems can be really good, but takes a comple... | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? More often than not, modern speakers look better than old speakers. |
