| Thiel Owners If I can add to @tomthiel ’s exceellent summary ot the CS 2’s; on numerous occsasions different individuals at Thiel Audio have commented that the CS 2’s were the most robust, reliable speakers Thiel has ever made. As a personal note, while the C... | |
| Should I Update My Krell KAV 250a ? Krell updates are not inexpensive. IMHO, the KAV series are not Krell's best efforts. I think you would be better off moving up the line for a better platform. Ideally you might find such unit(s) that have alreeady been recently updated. . | |
| Is toeing speakers a bad idea? It depends on the speakers dispersion, room reflections, and listening position. | |
| Purifi v Gan amps? ^As I understand it the Magtech is basically a fully regulated Coda with more output at the expense of less intial Class A bias. For many users it appears that the improvements and trade offs make for a better amp. It would appear that perhaps ev... | |
| What to do with a large collection Classical CD's are apprreciated by me. | |
| Thiel Owners @duramax747 , I agree, the proportions are nonpareil. | |
| Thiel Owners @duramax747 , It would seem that you’re in a unique position to have the resources to get this right. I do hope you can post photos when completed. | |
| Thiel 2.4 Speakers & Krell KAV - 300iL The Thiel CS 2.4’s don’t just dip below 4 Ohms, they live there from 100 Hz on. The KAV 300 il might have a Krell logo, but does’nt behave like typical Krells into such impedances, it’s only rated down to 4 Ohms. The Thiel CS 2.4’s are better suit... | |
| Thiel Owners I have my doubts as to whether outside paint shops could match the quality of OEM Thiels, especially when Tom Thiel was there. | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant, Honestly I use the Adcom ACE’s mostly to offer more outlets. Years ago when I lived in a NYC apartment I used an earlier though highly regarded older Adcom ACE version for the same reason. At that time I thought it might have helped wit... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant, Actually the CS 3.5’s even with the up to 12 dB draw from the eq, thanks to its 4 Ohm nominal / 4 Ohm minimum load (actual 5 Ohm measured) in smaller rooms with less volume demands can get by with as little as 100 Watts into 4 Ohms. That’... | |
| Thiel Owners Beetlemania is not incorrect. How ever 105 dB peaks (and quite a bit louder as well) are not all that uncommon during live performances (and I think that’s what we’re trying to replicate here). MS tone burst measurements at low impedances might su... | |
| Tube preamp for pass labs ? The better Atmasphere and Sonic Frontiers units should work nicely. | |
| Thiel Owners @77jovian, Much of the recent amp discusion here has previously been disucssed here. Suffice to say that I doubt that the Ayre AX-5 twenty is up to driving the CS 3.6's or 2.7's to their potential. The steady impedance levels of these speakers are... | |
| another rookie question - preamp or or power amp @grislybutter , depending on your sources, and with careful choices, you might not need a “preamp”. |
