PMC EB1i v. Thiel CS3.7 v. Pioneer S1-EX v. ???
Wrm57,Last time I was in the Bay Area (your area) I went to an audio store in Palo Alto called The New Audible Difference. They have the Thiel CS3.7 and the Thiel SS2 Sub. I have listened to that speaker about 5 hours without the Sub and 1 hour wi... 
Preamp suggestions for Thiel 3.6 & Bryston 4B-sst
I have very similar setup and went from Bryston BP-25 to BAT VK-42SE (solid state) paired with Bryston amps (either PP300's or 7B-SST's). I am currently using Thiel SCS4 but have also had Revel Salons with the above combo. I like the BAT more than... 
REVEL SALON 1: BEST USED SPEAKERS CABLES MATCH
I used 2 feet (or less) of AudioQuest Volcanoe speaker wire from my monoblocks. They were very good compared to some others I tried. I used Audience AU24 interconnect from my Pre to monoblocks. I thought these were great. 
RevelStudio2 really special or I need to hear more
I have owned the Revel Salons and I have audtioned the Studio2's. I would recommend you check out the Thiel 3.7 at the 10-12K price range. 
Bryston 14b-SST or 7b-SST?
I would recommed the "filter choke upgrade" for both 14B-SST or 7B-SST. Check out the link I sent earlier and search the Bryston Circle (all info is there). Some people on A'Gon sell the amps with the upgrade already done. It made a noticeable dif... 
Bryston 14b-SST or 7b-SST?
http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=69576.0"There would be 2 advantages to a 7B over a 14B. The 7B being Mono allows you to place the amplifier very close to each speaker - always a good idea-- and the 7B has twice the capacitance in the po... 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
I have heard the Thiel CS 3.7 with 1 Thiel Smart Sub. My audiophile review of the sound is, "I did not like it". I will be buying the Thiel CS 3.7 to use without any subs. 
Thiel 3.7
I used to have a BP25 + MPS2 with Bryston 7B-SST for a long time. I switched to the BAT VK-42SE pre-amp and kept the 7B-SST. The sound was a little 'warmer' with the solid-state BAT. I am not going to switch anything now and very happy with this c... 
Bryston Help
I switched from the Bryston BP-25 to a used BAT VK-42SE solid state preamp. The BAT is a fantastic match with both my Bryson 7B-SST and Bryston PowePak 300's. I prefereed it to the BP 25. The BAT is crstal clear and non-fatigueing. 
Revel Salons and Adcom amp, good match?
I used a pair of Bryston 7B-SST's with my Salons (with filter choke upgrade). Sounded very nice from to to bottom, especially the bass. Amps are now gathering dust in my closet since I sold the speakers. 
Thiel SCS2 or MCS1?
You should also consider the SCS4 against the MCS1. I think th the SCS4 tweeter is the same as the top of the line CS3.7. I have a pair of the SCS4's and they are very nice speakers. 
I think I've made up my mind
Great choice Jtein. I love those speakers.BTW - What country are u located in. I have been reading your posts and see that you have travelled great distances to audition different systems. 
Revel Studio2, Thiel 3.7 or Wilson Sophia 2
Long time former owner of Revel Salon1. I am changing from the Revel Salon1 to the Thiel 3.7. No technical explanation other than I liked the way it sounded way than the Revel. I have also heard the Studio2 and it did not move me like the Thiel 3.... 
Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst?
Take a look on audiocircle.com Bryston owners circle. I was thinking of getting the 7B-SST2 but decided to keep my 7B-SST and attach a Torus RM15 power conditioner to it. The web link has many discussions about this. 
Peamp/Amp for Thiel 3.7
I am getting the same speakers soon. I will be using my existing BAT VK-42SE pre and the Bryston 7B-SST. I may spring for the 7B-SST2 or 28B-SST2 if I the stock market is good to me.I auditioned the 3.7's with all Classe gear and it also sounded g...
