| Thiel - Inventors and Tinkerers All Zaikesman, thanks for your typical well thought out reply. I personally find the bass of most Thiels very good, but, think they could be better. The bass doesn't seem to have the same quality transient response of the (albeit superb) middle and up... | |
| Good under 200watt stereo amp for under $800 Twilo, the conrad-johnson MF200 was introduced March 1990. | |
| Good under 200watt stereo amp for under $800 Twilo, I'm not sure but I think the conrad-johnson MF200 came out in 1989. | |
| Understanding Tube Power Ratings Tubes watts are reputed to be louder than solid state watts. Of course this is not technicaly true. Tubes tend to overolad more gracefully than transistors. Jim Thiel told me that the recommended power given for his speakers were given with qualit... | |
| what CDs are most in need of remastering? Just about every 70's fusion disc. Seems like every transfer was an abomination. | |
| Thiel - Inventors and Tinkerers All IMHO, Thiel would be better off trying to keep the impdeance load at or above 4 Ohms, maintain the current sensitivity,and maintaining or better yet lowering the bass response. I would also suggest placing the drivers closer together. This might a... | |
| Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success? In as much as the 3.6's drop down to 2.5 Ohms, it's seems to be the most linear. I would imagine that would contribute to perhaps the most linear amplitude response of the group. | |
| Why so little discussion about Snell ? Snell as a company has been tossed around about a bit from owner to owner and from chief designer to chief designer. As such it's hard to speak of Snell in terms of "typical" consistentcies. | |
| help with budget, low power speaker selection You might be able to find a used pair of original Meadowlark Kestrals in really good condition at your price point. | |
| Theil 3.5's...Tubes or SS? Just bought a used pair P.S. Rowlands work nicely too. | |
| Thiel 2.4 and 7.2 versus 5i I haven't heard the 2.4's. If they are anything like other Thiels, and with out trying to offend anyone else's system, I think they deserve better than the particular solid state gear you have been auditioning with so far. | |
| New 1c's or used 2ci's I belive that the Vandersteen 2 series is not only the best value in the Vandersteen line, but, amongst the best values in all of audio. I also think that they can be quite room fussy. Make sure you have enough space to properly place. | |
| Theil 3.5's...Tubes or SS? Just bought a used pair Your amp requirements will depend on your room, desired listening levels, system, prefered music and individual taste. With that in mind, I suggest you find something that can deliver at least 200 Watts into 4 Ohms. The 3.5's are not forgiving of ... | |
| What CD titles to get from BMG???? Before you give any money to support the anti-consumer entity that is BMG, please read the following in archived forums: Music; "No more music without copy protection". | |
| What cables would you recommend? I think Ohlala, is right about getting your preamp first. |
