| Amplifiers with Thiel Speakers I wouldn't read too much into such things. At most shows, manufacturers let local dealers provide gear as they see fit. Much easier to fly unencumbered. Local dealers may have alternate agendas geared towards their local markets. New jobs opportu... | |

| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? IME, speakers with good measured step and square wave responses tend to image well. | |
| Thiel Owners @silvanik, I would urge you to reconsider using lead in your home. Even small amounts of lead dust exposure has been reported to cause significant neurological developmental delays in growing children. | |
| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? @cal3713 , Yes, thanks. It’s been a while since last read. ...Hence, my suggestions. | |
| Thiel Owners Well, we’re going into September, any updates on the Thiel Audio bankruptcy proceedings? | |
| What are the sexiest components ever made? Well, a company with the name “T&A” could be suggestive. | |
| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? Pass Labs whether due to technological or marketing reasons promotes their “super symmetry” as a selling point. This might be best used in balanced mode. Some of the Pass Labs amps have a somewhat low input impedance. If wanting to use tubes, I s... | |

| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? Keep keep in mind that while most of the time amps can cruise by with minimal power demands, but when demands arise, they can be surprisingly exponential. If those demands are not met; it can lead to clipping and potential driver damage. | |
| Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?.. I seem to recall Jamo and Thiel using concrete in some of their products. | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? When a manufacturer claims x Ohms stable, all they are saying is that the amp won’t start oscillating (and perhaps blow up) when presented with such a load. It does not suggest how it will otherwise power, perform or sound into such a load. | |
| Vintage Krell I really liked the KMA 160’s & 400’s! | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? IMHO, and at the risk of appearing pedantic: I believe many of the speakers nominated are really known for their soundstage rather than their imaging.IME, those speakers that aspire to time coherence tend image best. | |
| Pass Labs Power amps choices ^Depends on speakers and budget. |
