| Will Internet Distroy High End ? Interesting to read this thread after nearly 20 years. | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage For my identically sized room the only speaker that comes close to your price that I am considering is an used Thiel 2.7. You can only get them used and they are hard to find now. The only one available for sale I see right now is up in Canada for... | |
| $1300-1500 DAC The Benchmark DAC3B (the one without volume control) is the latest DAC3 model and cost something like $1700. I am likely going to get that again unless I decided that I like to spend more money for marginal gains. https://benchmarkmedia.com/produc... | |
| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Edition I will try and delete this thread. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomic601 Thanks for the Thiel offer. I have my eyes on the Thiel 3.7 for the downstairs now.A speaker you did recommend to me in another post will get a much stronger second for look my office, the Vandersteen Treo CT. All this Thiel thinking ma... | |
| Thiel Owners I won't get a 2.7 or 3.7 for the office if I get the 3.7 for the downstairs. I just have to convince the wife that a toddler needs a 3.7. Though when we were dating 12 years ago she went with me to an audition of the 3.7 (in a smallish room) and ... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks guys. I have been looking into the 2.7’s today. The 3 office speakers I have previously narrowed down my search are 10K, 15K, and 18K MRSP. I know I would get the same audio happiness buying a 3.7 and the price would be a lot better. The 2.... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I am a huge Thiel fan myself. If I could find a 2.7 I would be interested but these things are becoming harder to find. Lucky for me the tax man is keeping me broke for a few more months. I will keep an eye out for the 3.7 or 2.7 because... | |
| Computer for home audio I have something similar. One thing I do is keep the browser tabs to a minimum, especially on web sites that have a lot of video ads. These sites take up CPU cycles.I also use a Sonare microRendu that isolates the computer noise from the DAC. It i... | |
| Thiel Owners @thieliste I do not want to press my luck. I won't elaborate on a public forum. A few years ago some dealer in Southern Cal. had like something like 6 Thiel 3.7 speakers in storage that they wanted to clear out. I had no place to store it at that... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks everyone for your feedback on the 3.7's. My accountant was a party pooper today by informing me I have to make a larger than expected tax payment on Oct 15th. So no chance to make an offer on the 3.7 today.However, I am going to keep my eye... | |
| Thiel Owners @brayeagle I need to put my next floor standers in the space where the KEF LS50’s now reside. I cannot move anything now. I have identified 2 speakers that will work, Vivid Kaya 45, Paradigm Persona 3F, and maybe Yamaha NS5000. However, the 3.7’s ... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k I will text message you those stores and give you email and phone for them. |
