| Kef reference 3 @brownsfan The META I refer to is the new tech that KEF has developed and putting into the KEF LS50 META first. It will trickle up to the other lines. | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste I appreciate your feedback. I will give it a try since it is so easy for me being local. I do not want an integrated since my system positioning is setup for separates. I wanted a cleared path from my speakers to my ears. I am very happ... | |
| Thiel Owners Great feedback. Some updates.1) Rory at Benchmark forwarded my email to John Siau, the amp designer. He has the Thiel CS3.7 specs from Stereophile measurements linked in the email. He is out now but I hope to hear from him once he gets back.2) I... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure what musicality means but I do know that gear like the Luxman m900u have a softer presentation of the sound. Likely like the Gryphon but with the Gryphon having more slam. The USA distributer of Gryphon is lo... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Yes, I am paraphrasing his comments in my email with Benchmark. I am just crossing my T's and dotting my I's before I close the door on the mono AHB2.I have been looking around the net for alternative amps, if 2 x AHB2 is a non-starter, I... | |
| Thiel Owners Great info thanks. I will likely hear back from Benchmark that mono is not doable with the CS3.7. Your comments give even better reason to look at other options. | |
| Thiel Owners I did some online research and I found out that 1 AHB2 in stereo puts out 259 watts into 2 Ohms. That is not too bad.https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/speaker-efficiency-and-amplifier-powerNear the bottom in the section titled, "... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound I hear you. I have very good sound now, I cannot stop listening. However, I think there is still another level I can get with more power. I sent Rory Rail at Benchmark an email asking about a second AHB2. I know 2 AHB2 and the CS3.7 has b... | |
| Kef reference 3 @kenjit Of course man, I was only trying to get the person to spend more. You really do not need to say the obvious. | |
| Kef reference 3 In that case I think your choice of the KEF is great. It sounds similar to the Vivids to me. I have heard both a lot. I was looking at USAuidomart yesterday for some KEF's because of some anxiety I had with my 'new' speakers (resolved today). Ther... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant I ordered the Mofi version of Santana’s Caravanserai. My current SME version now sounds better on the CS3.7 than on my Meze Empy headphones. It sounded better on the headphones prior to my speaker repair today.Looking forward to the MoFi v... | |
| Thiel Owners I want update my journey with the Thiel CS3.7 now that some changes were made.1) A speaker repair tech came to my house today and re-soldered the crossover wires to the tweeter and midrange of my right speaker. They were wired out-of-phase during ... | |
| Kef reference 3 I would wait for the Ref 3 with the META stuff on the drivers. | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @aewarren You must have been a good hockey player with those deflection skills. Whatever, man audiophile talk is not that interesting to me. | |
| Your favorite male soul voices I don't like all his music but my favourite sounding N. American male vocalist is Lou Rawls. I always stop when I hear him singing. |
