| Vacuum tubed tone control??? I think VTL made such a piece for the pro market. | |
| Alpha Core Goertz I don't believe that an Audiogon member is being any more "anonymous" hiding behind a user name, than a manufacturer's rep' is hiding behind a brand name. If one started discounting opinons on this basis, most of the content on this site would hav... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz I suppose the purists who choose to use the speaker cables sans standard terminations such as spades or plugs might find the cables fragile. The recommendation to use the free zobels Alpha-Core offers with loan or purchase of their speaker cables ... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz I've had good customer service from Alpha-Core in the past, not great Shari of Thiel, but good. I could imagine some improvement, but your reaction, based on my experience (not yours of course) is a bit surprising. | |
| Thiel CS 5i, 7.2. and others Lest anyone get the idea they can easily drive the 6(?)Ohm CS 5's. I believe the Thiel CS 5's have a 3 Ohm nominal impedance and a 2 Ohm minimum impedance. | |
| Speakers to hang on the wall Magneplanar? | |
| Recommendations for 1000 Considering your budget, the size of your room, and your desire for strong bass out put, I think your idea of using Klipsch' is a very good one indeed. While their sound isn't my cup of tea, they can be very affordable to power. | |
| Best "plasma style" main speakers Thiel? | |
| B&K sonatas 200 monos Previous B&K amps like the legendary ST 140 were capacitor coupled the M 200's are DC coupled, basicaly just a different way of doing things for the same purpose. DC coupled designs are often reputed to have tighter bass response, which is the... | |
| B&K sonatas 200 monos I got to agree with previous posts. These amps are a steal on the used market. They can drive most low impedance speakers that would ordinarliy require more expensive amplification in such a way that belies their price. While they aren't quite up ... | |
| What do you think about Edge amps ? I've got to agree with Pbb and Jaybo, one of the worst names and some of the ugliest amps out there, yet I'm interested. Though the gear does seem to differ quite a bit from model to model, they seem to garner many postive reviews and appear to be... | |
| Recommendations for 1000 If you could tell us about your room, priorities and biases, we might be able to better serve you. | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield I just realized that there are indeed other companies, such as B&W that have taken a similar course. Perhaps the differnce here is that Thiel doesn't have a vast number of lines made for specific different markets. | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield While I think this is indeed a strange marriage, perhaps this is a way to have both a dealer network and experiment with a quasi-direct to consumer home trial marketing approach. Aparrently there is a 30 day trial period when purcahsing through Cr... | |
| Thiel/Crutchfield I can imagine some people who might use an acousticly transparent screen in a front projector system using a matching center floor stander in their Home Theatre. I can also see some confusion if Thiel priced their smaller speakers (some of which m... |
