| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @kren0006 I was going to get the Yamaha NS5000 but then I saw a local ad for a speaker that I liked better, the Thiel CS3.7. It also has less bass so it works better in my room.I am still looking at the NS5000 or KEF Blade2 for my larger room down... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @emergingsoul You sound like someone that needs to have a listen to the Luxman c900u preamp and m900u amp stack. Only tubey sound I loved and it is SS, great stuff. I would not mind putting the HPA4 or LA4 with the Luxman m900u amp but I will try ... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. @emergingsoul I don't buy the ego driven thing as something that applies to most folks. I think people buy what they like or need for their system. If the LA4 cost $20K I would have to do more demoing and likely still got it. However, at $2.5K it ... | |
| Thiel Owners Some important news was found out from my DRC measurement steps (first step actually). I want to clarify a point about the slight harshness I was hearing on the CS3.7 top end. I was saying it was not as smooth as the KEF LS50.The measurements show... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. I spoke with Rory Rail at Benchmark when I order 6 months ago. They are not keeping up with demand even today. Go to the web site today and see the disclaimer (capital letters are from web site)." WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VERY HIGH DEMAND FOR OUR... | |
| Seriously? Why Buy ARC Ref 6SE? seems Benchmark LA4 is a better choice. Actually you should not hear anything from the LA4, zero, utterly silent. If you are hearing chalk on a blackboard with the LA4 then you are hearing something else in the system. The ARC will have some sound character to it. I heard my buddies ARC... | |
| Thiel Owners @vair68robert Thanks for your input. I am going to stick with the GIK panels for now because I am low on funds and also these panels made my room sound great with the KEF LS50s. Prior to the panels the sound was awful. I understand the CS3.7 is a... | |

| Thiel Owners That’s OK, I paid good money for the amp, need to put the amp to work. When I first got the Thiel CS3.7 into my room I said the sound was like a 70/100. I got improvements with various steps. This room changes today take me to about 90/100. I am v... | |
| Thiel Owners My last comment on the AHB2 so I do not drone on and annoy people. I am doing acoustic measurements with REW software and Minidsp microphone. I am doing these measurements to have Accurate Sound of Canada’s Mitch Barnett analyze my room measuremen... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound ^Does the Class A drop, maintain or increase as impedance load is lowered? Response from CODAIt drops. This is the nature of the calculation and is true for every amplifier.CODASo are there amps that maintain the Class A on lowered ... | |
| Some love for the Benchmark HPA4/LA4 I owned DAC1 years ago (kind of hated it)DAC2 HGC DAC3 HGC AHBB2 (sold it)AGHB2 (bought again but this time with DAC3B and HPA4)For me the main difference was in the volume. The HPA4 sounds great at every volume level. I listen at low volumes late... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I want to modify yesterday's statement about the deep bass performance of the AHB-2. The more I listen the more I like it, and my in-room sound pressure measurements suggest that the bass amp is weaker. Therefore my call to Benchmark r... | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @mapman what sub do you use with the LS50? | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week I am trying to decide between the Coda #8 v2 and v3. What factors would determine the best choice between the two versions? My speaker is the Thiel CS3.7 which goes below 4 Ohms, supposedly a lot of the time. I listen at moderate volume levels. Wo... |
