I'd like to learn about volume controls
I think Melos, Big Dog(?) and TacT have/had some interesting volume controls. 
I'm Getting Unbalanced About Balanced
Some times using balanced cables in a system that isn't truly balanced can be benefitial (very long runs and/or in nasty environments). Other times the conversion from single to balanced and/or visa-versa just adds another stage of potential compr... 
Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under
Sean, any thoughts on the Coda amps? There seems to be a Threshold connection here aw well. 
Thiel 3.6 owners - what components are you using?
Tbird, with all due respect, they don't use Classe at all the shows. 
Has anyone seen failures of Theil 1.5
May I suggest you contact Thiel. IMHO their customer service is the absolute best bar none. You may be in for a very pleasant surprise. 
Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under
Sean, thank you very much for your thorough post. I'm surprised that Threshold products in particular would be so sensitive to thier given load(?). I now have more rather than less to ponder as I didn't realize these products were so system depend... 
Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under
Sean, I'm not familiar with the Forte' other than the 4's. When these were new the rags kinda ragged on the other than 4 models. I had no idea they were that stable into lower impedances. In as much as I liked the 4's and they certainly sounded mo...

David, best of luck on your new system. Please give us an update after you have everything settled in. Perhaps you can give a review on the Audcom. You may have discovered the next great bargain. Give me a call, so we can get those cables out to y... 
Build me a killer Rock/Metal Rig for 1K
David, the Electrocompaniet gear should sound wonderful with the Thiels. I think your unit puts out 120 (?) watts into 4 Ohms. While they don't quite double down, they are stable to 2 Ohms, they should have no problem with the Thiel 3.5's 4 Ohm lo... 
amps for dunlavy sc4
Rumour has it that Edge amps work well with Dunlavy. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I'm sure that Ryllau has long since made his decision with or with out help from this clever thread. I have had the same Thiel CS-2's for 14 years. I always wanted the 3 series but my old room couldn't accomodate most of the improvements they offe... 
amps for dunlavy sc4
When I spoke with Mr. Dunlavy he said his first choice was the Rowlands, for those on a on a more modest budget he recommended the Spectron.
