| Hegel Amps with Thiels Hi, Can anyone comment on McCormack amps with Thiels? | |
| Crown XLS 2500 - the best amp value per dollar? I am learning the same thing right now. I have a W4S ST1000 that I thought was the cat's meow with Maggie 3.6's as the amp had the power to wake them up.Got a pair of Thiel CS5's and the amp did not sound so good. So in the last month I have tried... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i Not sure that anyone cares but I took the ML 433 back to my dealer and he loaned me a Pass X350 that has new caps. In my opinion much better than the ML 433.Bass may not be quite as tight as the ML 433 but the Pass has a nicer, sweeter high end wi... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i One other thing I forgot to mention about the ML 433 is that it felt like it was at room temperature at the 12 o clock position after a couple of hours which makes it a viable candidate for a cabinet install.WAF will create problems with a big amp... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i I use a micro fiber cloth to remove finger prints on the black baffle and expect any good paste wax will be good fro the wood sides and back.I had a tweeter cap fall off and ordered speaker glue from Simply Speakers. It cost $10 and I probably use... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i A point I failed to make in my earlier post is that I am now understanding that I do not need to have a 500 watt amp to power the Thiels so this opens up a host of choices, I think. But how do I go about eliminating those where the specs would ind... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i Ok...I borrowed a Mark Levinson 433 from my dealer who had let me try the Parasound A21.The ML 433 is very good - better texture to the bass and more refined treble compared to the W4S ST1000. And was able to play at high volume without clipping l... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i W4S ST1000 are class D | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i Hi,Well, here is the latest on the great experiment with the Parasound A21.At 11 o'clock on the preamp while playing Fleetwood Mac "Rumors", the A21 one started to clip and went into protection mode. I routinely run the W4S ST1000 at 2 o'clock wit... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i Hi,My local stereo store has loaned me an A21 for an in home trial so I will get a listen and see what comes of it. Here is the interesting thing. It was suggested to consider the A31, which is three channel because, in a two channel setup, the th... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i George, My Lexus GS350 only cost 38K used! Dsper | |
| Sanders Magtech versus Spectron Musician 3 Mk2 Hi Rhanson, Could you elaborate about how you thought the Magtech sounded to you? I have seen a few threads that left the impression that the Magtech could sound overly analytical and not musical....which was why I was entertaining the Spectron. D... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i Hi George, Of course I cannot find the reference to which I referred in my earlier note.However, googled the Krell web site and looked at the Krell Solo 575 Mono Power Amplifier featuring Krell iBias Technology. The output is listed as 575 W RMS a... | |
| Recommend a passive preamp route Hi You might want to consider a second pair of Advents as a double-stack will make a dramatic difference. And let me know - I have a clean pair with boxes and manual and a second less clean pair with no boxes.Dsper | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 for Thiel CS 5i The current was what caught my eye on the JC1's as they listed something like 135 amps for instantaneous peaks. The W4S is rated at 40 amps. I also see that an older Krell FPB 300c was rated less than that. Now , of course, I am not sure how to re... |
