| Class D amp driving Thiel I know the power was bumped to 100 wpc but more power than that is news to me. | |
| Class D amp driving Thiel The question I have with Nuforce is that the highest power units the ones that are well received. The I-7 is now 100 pc but it's the lowest powered piece in the line. | |
| Class D amp driving Thiel Matching the amplifier to the speaker is what I am trying to do. It's not about this sounds good with that, or something else doesn't. There are real requirements that these speakers make on an amplifier - nominal 4 ohm impedance, reaching 3 or so... | |
| Class D amp driving Thiel Thanks very much for all of the replies. It looks like the Bel Canto and Rowland are tested and confirmed matches and that CIA is well regarded although nobody responding has direct experience with them and Thiel's. Nobody that's heard class D and... | |
| Class D amp driving Thiel Drubin: Thanks for sharing your experience. The 102 looks interesting. Did you use that or the 201 (or some other model)? I'll need to listen again to the 1.6 to see how I feel about its bass performance. Not that I'm a bass freak but it's always ... | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker You will be able to hear the Polk Lsi9's at a Tweeter if there is one near you. Not exactly a 'boutique' but they do have a few decent brands there. I would have jumped on the Lsi15's at the asking price but wife vetoed the cabinet. | |
| Large room but not large budget-suggestions please Yes, the 603 is worth exploring, as is the 604 which is a bit bigger and would definitely fill up your room. I think the Vandersteen will be a little more refined than these but depending on your sonic preferences you may prefer them. | |
| Large room but not large budget-suggestions please The larger B&W 600 series models are worth looking at. They are not my cup of tea - not as smooth as the CM series - but the 604 would probably fill the room nicely. It will be less lush than the Vandersteens but depending on your tastes might... | |

| Small Floor Standers I understand your feeling on that one. | |
| Small Floor Standers It is not an SP1/2e, I'll check what it is when I pull it from storage. I like the speaker but its large rectangular box form factor just doesn't work in the living room. | |
| Small Floor Standers Oh, and I'm a little sentimental about the Spendor SP1/2a's that I own. Also, they're in offsite storage so pulling them out, photographing and listing them doesn't appeal to me right now. | |
| Small Floor Standers I've only been to a few on this round of shopping - Glenn Poor's, Saturday Audio Exchange and two local Tweeter's. Of all the local shops Audio Consultants in Evanston is my favorite. Pro Musica generally has very well matched systems and dependin... | |
| Small Floor Standers That is a screaming deal! I know the urge to buy something you can't use - there's a Rotel RMB1095 and pair of Spendor SP1/2's sitting in my storage as we speak. Right now a scuffed pair of Kestrels is available for $500 (reduced from $600). I thi... | |
| Small Floor Standers I'll try looking but will have to wait til I get home. The firewall here will definitely ban that url. |
