| Veneer repair for Thiel 3.0a's. Call Thiel, IMO the best customer service in the business. | |
| Ageless Music? Music that is played often enough to be recognized, yet not played too often to be repulsive. | |
| Anyone's opinion about VTL amps? I've never heard any other tube amps best them in bass response. I did find them a bit forward. All in all I liked them. My biggest concern is (please understand this is not from personal experience!) is VTL's reputation for customer service. | |
| HDCD & SACD Denon. | |
| Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Muralman1, please take this in the manner in which it is intended. I'm not trying to unduly attack the Apogees. I'm sure that you'll agree that they are a rather unique speaker. One that puts a unusual load on amps, requires more than typical care... | |
| Thiel CS5i's VS other Thiel Lines I've have heard the CS5i head to head against the 3.6's, but, not head to head with the others. The CS5i was better in every way to my ears. Mind you the CS5i seemed to be very fussy about amplification and room, not that the 3.6's are particularl... | |
| Is there a statistics of ... Interesting idea. One problem might be that many audiophiles systems seem to change so often. | |
| Carver ZR 1600 drives low impedance Eldartford, thank you. I've been considering digital amplification. I have high hopes for this technology. With the exception of the eAR stuff, there has been a bit of buzz claiming that digital amps didn't do well into low impedances. Your contri... | |
| Speaker suggestions? With all due respect to Thorman, I have found that while the Vanderstens are forgiving and very good values they are fussy with regard to room placement. Sorry, I have no suggestions at this time. The Meadowlark's MIGHT work, I don't have any expe... | |
| What are the Ohm ratings? newbie No offense meant here, but, using an amp that isn't designed for lower impedances may offer one the opportunity to enjoy the sound while shortening the amps life, and maybe the speakers too. I've suggested this before, but the Spicas deserve a bet... | |
| Low-Fi Experience David, I bought one of those Pioneer DV-440's for my kid a couple of Christmas' ago for $150 US. Didn't perform to shabbily next to a 10 X the price Arcam. Now the Arcam had better sound, different though I'm not sure better picture, but the Pione... | |
| Warranties - Best & Worst - New & Used Golden ears, I disagree with your dismissal of Bryston's warranty policy. I disagree with the idea that out-of-country purchase warranty claims are ridiculous. The most disagreeable thing is the impolite manner in which you have trolled this thread. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? For those that put rum in their Egg Nog, may I suggest Captain Morgans Spiced Rum. Fairly inexpensive and adds a nice essence of vanilla. | |
| Meadowlar Osprey...How does it sound??? Zaikesman, we are in complete agreement. That adjacent drivers carry more burden suggests a compromise in dynamics may very well be "the nature of the beast". The Wilson's very high sensitivty doesn't hurt either. | |
| Thiel 1.5's vs, 2.2's? Any thoughts? Elevick, the size of a Thiel doesn't determine it's impedance. For example, a CS-2 has a higher impdeance rating than a Power Point. |
