tomthielit seems that the 2.4 crossover upgrades are pretty well finalized now and that a lot was learned regarding upgraded components and the effects on how the speakers sound. Since I own 3.6s, I’m interested in learning how much of the info ga...

rosami, I feel the exact same about my 3.6s. I have visited numerous dealers when I travel, and I have not heard a newer model that I had rather have in my home.

Sam, I had an ARC Ref 110 before my current Ref 150. Terrific match with the Thiels, even my hard to drive CS3.6s. I saw that you preferred the 8 ohm taps on the BAT VK55. I originally preferred the 4 ohm tap on my Ref 150, but I haven't switched ...

Eagles, Long Road out of Eden - CDThe Title track is a must listen. Exceptionally produced on their CD.  Agree nutty. One of my favorites. My wife loves "What Do I Do With My Heart"

Drink of choice for serious listening?
Buffalo Trace....best taste, best value in bourbon IMHO, but as we all know, our senses are measured with subjectivity. 
Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)

A definite, noticeable, small incremental improvement with the dedicated circuit. I was skeptical because I thought the PS Audio P10 should be able to produce near perfect power from what comes through most any wall outlet. Voices and instruments ...

Done! 20 amp breaker. I went with Romex 10/2 from junction box to a single Porter Port outlet which was a little frustrating manipulating the 10 gauge solid copper connections. I decided against 2 outlets at this time since all my gear is connecte...

Reading this thread is a highlight of my day. Tom, now you have made me very curious about the internal upgrades you mentioned. How many times were the CS3.6s upgraded? My CS3.6 SN #4789 and 4790 were produced 5/22/96.
