KEF LS 50 in NE Ohio?
they will be available on Amazon.com on Sept 7th. I think they do returns. 
Revel Salon 3?
James63,I totally agree with your assessment of the Thiel 3.7 relative to the Salon. I would not go back to the Salon since I have already owned it but if somebody gave me one as a gift I would happily take it.I am doing some active searching now.... 
Revel Salon 3?
James63,You like the Salon2 more so than the Thiel 3.7? It would be interesting to hear your opinion. I have read quite a bit of your posts during my speaker research activities and found them informative.I owned the Salon1 for quite a long time i... 
The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
If you were to go overboard for the amp, you should consider the Bryston 3B-SST/3B-SST2 or 4B-SST/4B-SST2 for the Mini. I think it would be a pretty good match considering the Bryston and Magnapan are supposed to play well with each other. A more ... 
The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
I was considering getting these Mini's for my desktop but now I am also interested in the Audience THE ONE desktop speaker. It would be very interesting to have a comparison between the 2, both provide 30-day trials direct from the manufacturer. I...

On the other hand, Bryston and Magnapan did introduce the Mini's at some show connected to the 28B-SST2's. Overkill for sure but I don't think it would blow up the speaker.

Check out the KEF LS50 for a small room. 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
There is an upcoming Audio show in San Francisco and also in Toronto. Vancouver is a short car ride away. You will be able to hear these speakers there. 
Bryston BP-26 or Parasound Halo JC 2 preamp??
Another pre-amp to consider is the solid state BAT VK-42SE. I changed from the Bryston BP25/MPS-2 combination to the BAT. The sound of the BP 25 was a little harsh for me. I believe the BP26 addresses the issues I had with the BP25. I used the 7B-... 
Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners
The 14B-SST2 may not work too well for you if are concerned about the sound being too forward. If you read Mr Tanners comments (and review) he highlights one aspect of the sound differences between the 7B-SST2 and the 28B-SST2 as the soundstage on... 
Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners
Just for fun 1 more,"We shared a demo room with Thiel at the recent Vegas Hi-Fi show in January (CES 2008) and used the 28B's on the Thiel CS 3.7's. Jim Thiel himself told me that it was the best sound they had ever had at a show. Also George Card...

Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners
Get a used Bryston 28B-SST2 for about 10 grand or a 7B-SST2 for half that used. Thiel has used this combo many times for demo. James Tanner of Bryston has an excellent review of this combo on the Bryston Limited section of AudioCircle. One of his ... 
TAD Evolution 1 vs Thiel CS3.7
I have heard the JBL Array ($12,000). I am really interested to hear a comparison between the Thiel and TAD since my limited technical knowledge leads me to believe they use similar designs.I can of course go and listen to all the speakers listed ...
