Thiel 1.6 - bass
There is no amp that is going to get your Thiels to go where they cannot go. Lets face it: a 6 1/2" woofer, does have some lower extension limitations. A sub is the way to go. You'll get tons of threads about this. I auditioned the 1.6s (after own...

Shop around and you can get the YBA Passion Integre for about $3300, plus or minus, NEW! I love mine. Read my review, in the archives. Give a listen, or just by it on my say so. peace, warren 
Do you rember your first?
Hey guys. I appreciate your recollections. I can relate to many of them. Thanks for your feedback. peace, warrenP.S. don't let me stop you! 
speaker stands on wood floors
Don, granted, spiked speakers, even on discs, are a bit of a pain in the ass to move around. It'll be worth the pain, though. Remember, if you decide you want to couple, as Tom said, don't place anything in the path of the resonances. Nothing!--no... 
speaker stands on wood floors
Don, I'm a coupler, too. These "devices" you're talking about are important. At least the composition of the alloys. I would call Audiopoints.com and ask to speak to Robert. He's the man over there. I know Tom (theaudiotweak) would disagree with m... 
Stands to go with B&W Nautilius 805?
The Sistrum Mini Monitor Platforms are just perfect for your 805s. I have my Revel M20s sitting on them. Read my review in the archives. They are going to have a picture, very shortly, I'm told, on their website. I bought them with just a verbal d... 
Power Conditioners vs. Power Cables
Hey Z, thanks for getting back to that question I raised. That last 6 feet is a mysterious 6 feet. I am, certainly, not questioning the difference it appears to make, especially with stock power cords. Just the fact that everything you mentioned, ... 
Your Ultimate Reference Recording
I know this from first hand experience, and from the obvious posts: there isn't just ONE reference recording. Go into the archives and you'll see...we've been down this road before. It's hard to stop at three, forget about, just ONE... 
Power Conditioners vs. Power Cables
This is my take. Not fact, mind you, just my experience. Firstly, I have asked similar questions about the need for killer power cords,with a power conditioner and never received a satisfactory answer. Perhaps, there really isn't one, because of t... 
What Instrument do You Play?
I did the piano thing when I was a kid. Had Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, (you've heard of these guys?) drilled into me. Scales, scales, scales, and more scales. Finally, after the Beatles, American arrival, my mommy let me move to popular music. It wa... 
Digital isolation. Am I doing this correctly?
Good point Z. This works for the Audio Magic line, but may be deleterious to other conditioners. Thanks for that...peace, warren 
Spikes or platforms
You have nothing to lose by waiting. In fact, that may be a smart thing to do. Then you'll be able to really understand and hear what the Sistrum products (or whatever you chose) can do for your system. Contact Robert at Audiopoints.com--He's the ... 
Audio Aero Prima 24/192 CDP vs Meridian 507
Even if I said I compared the Prima to the Meridian, why would that have any importance to you? Who am I? Your ears are what count. Not mine. I will say this: the Prima is one killer cdp. I love mine. You got to do the deed yourself--the compariso... 
Comparison between Sunfire and REL subs ????
Good choice Z. You're going to be a happy camper. Happy listening. warren 
YBA Passion vs YBA integre dt integrated????
Obviously, no one has compared the two. Not an unlikely situation, given everything that's out there, and the liklihood of being interested in each one at the SAME time. What could anyone's opinion mean, anyway? You're the one who has to hear it. ...
