| Power for Thiel 7.2 Oops, scratch Audio Research, though they have used them amongst others to demo their stuff in the past. | |
| Power for Thiel 7.2 While Thiel is politely diplomatic, I don't think it's too hard to read between the lines. If one is using Thiel's top of the line product, I think it fair to say that Thiel's top picks might include: Audio Research, Ayre, Boulder, Classe, Conrad-... | |
| spica and ls3/5a's 213cobra, with all due respect, while there are exceptions, I think that your view of impedance loads and solid state amps is just the opposite of common wisdom. | |
| Spectral and Accuphase I don't remember all the details, but, I recall that some Spectral gear can be very tricky to deal with. Seemed as though Spectral stuff needed to be mated with Spectral and use special MIT cabling. Tread carefully! | |
| Threshold's I've noticed that these amps display class A/AB on the face plate. Does anyone know how many watts are offered in class A before they go into class AB. These amps are rated as 250 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, how much power per channel do they p... | |
| power for Thiel 3.5's I should add that the Thiel 3.5's can occasionlly sound a bit pinched in the low treble and despite the quality of the low frequencies sound a bit tilted up. This tilted up sound is not as prominent as some other Thiel speakers. I suspect this is ... | |
| Two subwoofers or One? Nsgarch, I can't argue with the truth. I will say that I while most experts agree that low frequencies aren't very directional, I suspect that on some level we are aware of something askew when those frequencies harmonics appear from where they mi... | |
| Two subwoofers or One? Nsgarch, I'm not familiar with this particular sub, so I must bow to your experience. It might be worth mentioning that it has been suggested that due to the summing of channels of stereo (i.e. not a dedicated sub woofer channel) signals to mono t... | |
| Two subwoofers or One? The usual advantage of using two subwoofers is that you will most likely spread out nodes due to room interaction. | |
| Early 80's - late 70's best audio products Sean, so nice to see another of your valued posts again. We thought we lost you. | |
| Using Bad Recording to Evaluate a System Onhwy61 nailed it. | |
| upgrading speaker crossovers & tuning The old Snell's claim to fame was the degree to which everything was matched. Unless you are aware of a problem my suggestion would be to leave well enough alone. Tampering with the crossover might devalue them for resale. Of course one could also... | |
| Using Bad Recording to Evaluate a System If you want a system that editorializes things that's your business. As for me I think it's an anthema to the whole idea of anything that purports to be fidelity. I have used bad recordings to evaluate equipment, but, with a very different objecti... | |
| Opinions on Straght wire? I've been using their stuff for years. Similar to Wireworld. I think they're pretty good, especialy for the money. | |
| Best wire to replace stock wiring in preamp? King_tut, actually I did, and I think what went from a thoughtfull suggestion went on to a high-jack of Daltonlanny's originally posted thread. |
