Hey jafant,
Other components are low budget conscious and mostly older as well. 15 yr old Rotel pre-amp, Philips cd 80 and my "venerable" Hafler 9180 circa 1994. Still have the D'Agostino satellite/sub set. They sound good considering I purchased them in 1977! The Thiel's out pace them. Once I buy something I usually keep it. Sold off Bryston and Rega in the past however.
Hey prof,
yes! conceivable! :) I certainly "lusted" after many other speakers and amps but being focused on investing for retirement centered my discretionary budget on frugal. Now pleasantly retired these past the years I am glad I remained sensibile.
Yes robinbarbour, The Thiel's were are very good investment considering the random and largely uninformed manner in which I decided to purchase them!
