| Roon - 10 Things You Don't Know Roon is not for know-it-alls that don’t know what they don’t know.Or is it? | |
| Speakers behind wall of TVs?? What the ...? Thiel’s Power Points. Just be sure to provide the appropriate amplification. Due to the unique nearly flush to the ceiling/wall placement they are also particularity well suited for DSP room correction. The concentric drivers also help with that, ... | |
| Are pass labs amps good match with vandersteen quattro speakers While both sit on the neutral fence, both would fall off on the warm side. | |
| Reference Recordings I really like the RCA’s as well. The Mercury’s not as much. The Mercury’s used 3 channels. For better or worse, strictly 2 channel in my set up. | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? ^Perhaps a bit old, but still relevant. | |
| Reference Recordings FWIW, one of favorite labels. I find the sound staging, and especially the dynamics to be excellent. Proper HDCD decoding can be quite beneficial on the appropriate recordings. | |
| Speaker cable length With low output impedance ss amps and the typical heavy gauge speaker cables used today, the length is less critical than years ago when high output tube amps and thin gauge zip cord were used exclusively in yesteryear. Reasonable differing dista... | |
| Thiel Owners “Stable” only means that the amp won’t go into oscillation. It doesn’t suggest how much power, what distortion levels or how it will sound into that load. | |
| Thiel Owners ^The wording on the amp is a bit ambiguous. The wording suggests that the amp not be tested into 2 Ohm loads. Musical loads might suggest momentary dips into 2 Ohms. The 3.6's practically live in that region. Get an appropriate Krell. | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? I'm a Thiel owner that likes Vandersteen's. Many have owned both. | |
| Thiel Owners thoft, I've matched the Forte' 3 with Thiel CS 2's a couple of times for different friends. A very nice match. But, the CS 2's are 6 Ohm nominal / 5 Ohm minimum load. I wouldn't match the Forte' with the 3.6's impedance load. Furthermore, there is... | |
| Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal??? Vandersteen's are very much like warmer Thiel's, and the Vandy's tend to work nicely with Audio Research. | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? With loud speakers, it’s much more likely that the choice of power amplification could actually negate the need for a preamp, than vice versa. | |
| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? I prefer ss, but I'll throw another vote for the Sonic Frontiers Line 3. Very neutral, still preserves the harmonic detail of tubes, yet without the usual exaggeration. Plays well with many different components, a truly impressive line stage. | |
| would like suggestions on how much to ask for 1955 Magnavox system ^I understand that there has been a recent, small but growing trend to rebuild these consoles, perhaps coincidentally due to the renewed interest in turn of the century furniture, and/or as well as vinyl and tubes? |
