Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Again, I could be wrong, but, I was under the impression that Ohm currently uses pistonic cones as opposed to the bending wave Walsh drivers. 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
I could be wrong about this, but, I was led to believe that Ohm no longer uses Walsh drivers. Perhaps some are actually purchasing the Ohm sound, not the Walsh sound. 
What Happened to Thiel?
Kiwi, thanks for clarifying that for me! Considering CD's inherent limitations and the challange a cartridge would have tracking it, I doubt many systems could actually produce anything below 20 Hz. 
What Happened to Thiel?
Gee, I thought the first ocatave was from 20 to 40 Hz? Thiel's measurements are done in an anechoic chamber, so in real practice most will have some in room bass reinforcement. I do agree that $10K seems a bit much for the this level of bass outpu... 
What Happened to Thiel?
FYI,Thiel and full range: CS 3.5's -3dB 20 Hz CS 3.6's -3dB 27 Hz CS 3.7's -3dB 32 Hz CS 5's +/-1dB 23 Hz CS 6's -3dB 27 Hz CS 7.2's -3dB 23 Hz 
What Happened to Thiel?
According to Thiel's web site, the CS 6's were discontinued in March of '07. 
Class-D amps - a different re view
While I don't depend on Martin Colloms to make my decisions for me, I've come to respect his views. Mr. Colloms is hardly a reviewer that just likes "transistor amps". In as much as he has historicaly praised classic ss amps like Krell, he's just ... 
Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions
I'm sorry, I went from Thiel 1.5's to 1.6's. I think the 1.5's may be found at or below $1K, but, I don't think you'll find the 1.6's that cheap for a long while. 
Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions
While the Meadowlark Kestral's and the Thiel 1.6's share many design principles, they have different amplifier requirements. I suggest you choose your speakers first then worry about the amp. BTW, if you really want "monitors", and I think my prev... 
Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions
I'm not usually a fan of "monitors" or that label for that matter. I don't understand why so many women seem to have issues with the size of speakers either. I guess I'm a bit out of touch. With all that said, I can recommend the "slim" floor stan... 
Poll.....what size is your room?
23.5' W X 11.75' L X 10'(w/ 14' peak) H 
Mapleshade and others
FWIW, I've enjoyed the sound of ss c-j, Thiel and Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cables. 
Anyone familiar with the Manger driver?
Overkillaudio, I was one of those that objected to your previous thread, and while I currently use cones and domes, that had nothing to do with my objection. This forums integrity could be compromised if blatant advertising such as yours was permi...

Crossover-less Speakers
Macrojack, with all due respect and IMHO, at first you were mildly out of line, now that your insulting another respected Audiogoner looking out for the rest of us, your really out of line.
