| Multi format playback: DAC w/ DVD-A capability? Rip to HDD? Just get an Oppo? Has anyone given the Sony UBP-X1000es a spin. I'm especially curious about it's analog audio output, and how important the omission of Dolby Vision is. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. What’s the dB range of the customizable eq?Can Tidal be streamed?What is the analog output voltage? | |
| Connection Options for ARC LS-7 to D240 Mk.II Could it could go either way. On the one hand extra hardware and conversions might have a negative effect. On the other hand you’ll get the benefits of balanced along the cable. | |
| When to recap a late nineties Krell Kav 250 A. The KAV series was Class AB, and not amongst Krell's most sought after models. Recapping Krell's are rumored to be expensive, make sure it's worth it. | |
| Ideas on amp for Thiel Look for something with at least 400 Watts into 2 Ohms. Personally I would start with double that, and even more could be quite beneficial. | |
| Aleph 4, or else? (good general purpose class A amp) I suspect that with your speakers, you might find something from FirstWatt that might best match your specific speakers. | |
| Thiel Owners I’ve yet to hear a horn I didn’t hate. | |
| Thiel Owners Tomthiel, Interesting that you used Krell's (though I can understand why) for developing the CS5's, it's been long rumored it was the 250 Class A Watt mono Threshold 12e's. | |
| Thiel Owners Larry, It's been a long time, and I might be mistaken, but I thought the late "Bud" Fried also thought 1st order cross-overs were "all wrong". I seem to recall that some of his designs were supposed to be based on transmission line cabinets, yet ... | |
| Thiel speaker model range I'd hazard a guess it might be due to Asian market considerations. In Chinese the number 4 is claimed to sound like the word for death. It is thought best to be avoided. Some buildings in China skip the 4th floor, just as some western buildings sk... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? Sometimes the speakers that require less Watts, seem to want more expensive Watts. | |

| Thiel Owners Jafant, I don’t know anything about this particular unit, or the seller: There are plenty more that know plenty more about Krell’s than I do. I have enjoyed various Krell’s on various Thiel’s many, many times. Amongst my favorite combinations. The... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel, "...signal-shaping was done within the amplification envelope..." Wow, that seems quite ambitious, especially when considering it probably would all have been done in analog then. In today's digital era development time an effort would p... | |
| Thiel Owners I suspect it might have been more of an opportunity for the end user to make things worse. Still, I can't help but wonder if the models with bass boosting eq's might not have had some different considerations. |
