| BEARD P-100 tube amp The Thiel 3.5's have 4 Ohm minimum 4 Ohm nominal impedance load. They are very tube friendly, so long as you have enough (high) power coming from the 4 Ohm tap. | |
| BEARD P-100 tube amp David, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize the impedance issue. I have a very distant memory of a Beard making some nice sounds from a Thiel 3.5. Perhaps it was a different model. Or perhaps more than my memory is distant. Your concern is appropriate. | |
| BEARD P-100 tube amp While this amp is up to driving your Thiels, if you want to simulate the sound of a rock concert perhaps a much bigger amp is in order. | |
| What's the best add lib ..: guidelines proposed Perhaps, some of our more esteemed posters could propose a standard template for newbies? | |
| 25 customs/tax fee to ship audio to Canada ?? I won't do international trades. Just imagine if you had a dispute! Years ago I invested in a Canadian company that provided equipment to the mining trade. I made a quick fortune. That is until I tried to collect. The Canadian goverment decide to ... | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? Good luck. | |
| Should Class A Amps be left on?? I could be wrong about this but I thought that class A amps were least efficient when not driven. If I'm wrong I'm sure you good souls will correct me. If the first premise is true, I would think that leaving a class a amp on all the time would ne... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 O.K., I'm interested. How much $? | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? Yes, the Thiels require a quality amp, and Porsche's require high test. Hardly as demanding as some other speakers, like certain Apogees. There are some relatively inexpensive amps up to the job. However, the Thiels will be transparent enough to a... | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? Cjsmithmd, well done. Thanks for sharing. | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? I'm sure that other manufacturers send out items that aren't up to snuff occasionally. I wonder how many of these other manufacturers would be so quick to admit it, and how many would have the outstanding customer support Thiel has to rectify it. ... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Drubin, don't feel bad I misspelled the name of the item I have up for auction, twice! Then spelled the word in the manufacturers name correctly in the text. Talk about embarrassing. | |
| Taking the bad with the good Jayarr with all due respect I think lumping all components with any similarity in design prejudicial. This might be especially true with emerging technologies. With enough time perhaps patterns will emerge that will justify your "wonder". | |
| Audio vs. Other Reviews Right on Zaikesman! I for one am reluctant to subscribe to the "audioperfectionist" as it seems to echo too much of my current thinking. I want more than validation, I want some one who can present a valid challange to my prejudices as well. As fo... | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? Again Sean and Zaikesman are right on. I should point out that a lot of the caveats are with respect to getting the most out of Thiels. In many ways they are easier to place than some other audiophile speakers. Compared to many panel speakers the ... |
