Thiel Owners

unsound-

I was referring to the newer models like the .5 or .8 amps.
I like both the x-10 or x-20 pre-amps as well.

danvignau-

good to see you again. PLease keep me posted on your situation w/ Thiel. I would like to read about your story and how it relates to Thiel.

I've owned 2 pairs of 3.5's actually and have had these for about 1.5 years. I purchased these from a fellow member for a whopping $350 believe it or not.  My first pair were $800 and I drove to Massachusetts to pick them up. My nephew has those to this day. 

I never used the Thiels with my First Watt M2 amp but that's what drove me to the X150.5. The Coda amp I mentioned earlier is actually an integrated capable of 600 watts into 4 ohms. Decisions decisions...

I know. Both the Pass Labs and First Watt is really on my mind.
I would have to demo the FW amp though.

Is there a Coda dealer/retailer that you can suggest?

Jafant...
I visited the Coda site earlier this morning and from what I was able to decipher was that they have dealers only.  No mention of a retailer.  

I've yet to see a Coda in any of the NY retail shops I visit so...

I may very well be buying that integrated listed here simply because of the Pass/Threshold history.  I bought my First Watt from Reno without auditioning and almost immediately jumped up to the X150.5, again without auditioning.  The most intriguing aspect about a Pass integrated is the money saved as opposed to buying a pre and an amp. Pass prices have really gone up since I had mine.  Dammit!
