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... 
The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
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. 
salesperson recomends what do you think
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 ... 
TAD Evolution 1 vs Thiel CS3.7
Sorry I did not reply back to this post. I did not see it listed until today.My statement on the price being fairly close was for the used TAD E1 I see on A'Gon compared to the new Thiel CS 3.7. I have seen a few listing where TAD E1 owners have u... 
rear surround speakers
FYI - Thiel recommends the SCS4's as both center channel and rear surrounds in HT setup. 
KEF LS50
Do you think these speakers can be used on a desk? I have the Audioengine A2's on my desk and I have been thinking about the KEF's to replace them. But I have a suspicion the KEF's maybe too big to put on a desk and would also require space more t...
