| Amp for Thiel CS1.5? Chuck, the McCormack is a good recommendation. For someone new to this using the "doubling down" criterion has a lot of merit. The 1.5's hang around 4 OHms and drop to 3 Ohms. | |
| Reciever Questions. Thiels. As a long time Thiel owner, I concur with the previous reponses. You'll cheat yourself and never know what the Thiels are capable of, if you cheap out on ampification. You might want a giant dog, but if you can't afford to feed that kind of puppy,... | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? Great Thread. I too believe RVG is over rated as a recording engineer. Piano's rarely sound complete and as big an instrument as it really is, soloist don't seem to stand up to the forefront, dynamics are restricted and worst of all the bass is bl... | |
| Amp for Thiel CS1.5? All good advise above. Other (perhaps not even as good) considerations include: Classe', Muse and PSE. | |
| best sub $1000 amp to mate with tube preamp I don't know about best, but, the c-j solid state amps have a fairly high input impedance, are not overly sensitive (so they don't pick up and amplifiy a lot of noise) and are designed from the get go to work with their own well regarded tube pre'... | |
| Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound Sogood51, I see your point, but, I read the title "Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound" as being the priority. There does seem to be some contradiction. | |
| Jolida integrated amp for Thiel 2.3's? Rar1 nailed it! Floor standing Thiel's need room to breathe. While they haven't been released yet, I suspect you'll be better off trading down to the new Thiel SCS4's. | |
| Thiel SCS3 The yet to be released SCS4 is expected to sell for around $1K each, less than the previous SCS3, and the SCS4 is touted as sounding better to boot. | |
| Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound Using your criterion, and IMHO, the Thiel 3.5's by a long shot, followed by Vandersteen 2's. | |
| What about 2 separate audio systems as one? To really maximize the benefit, one must graft two heads back to back. | |
| Where do I go from here? Hey, that's not a bad system! What cables are you using? | |
| Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig. Chadnliz, I posted the definintion in response to Tafka_steve's post; ...."maybe it is a matter of language usage". It got me thinking as to the true meaning of the word harsh. Surprisingly, I found the the definition to be appropriate for both si... | |
| 1K used, full range and decent looking Thiel 3.5's. | |
