| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? My problem is, I can’t hear a speaker without an amp. And I don’t have either one right now. So I’ll see what’s out there and report back! | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? That is a lot of good information, guys.Thanks much. I haven’t settled on an amp yet, just considering the good deal on the Cary 202.2 presented me by a trusted dealer friend. I’ve never owned any speaker but a Thiel; so, it’ll be fun to try somet... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? Way to go, guys. Very helpful thus far. I have located a Cary 200.2 which is a possible start. It would good amp to build on; I had an AES tube preamp by Cary for a few years, and I really liked it. I've had a pair of Quicksilver mini monos paire... | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? The best sound I have achieved was the Krell fpb300 paired withthe Thiel 2.4’s. Being a sick audiophile, I of course had to go up to the 5i’s, & then to the CS6’, which require even more power, etc......I have a couple of preamps, I should jus... | |
| Amplifier speaker match Saturday Audio in Chicago sells used high end audio. I’ve dealt with them before, you might check and see if they have something in your price range to work with the Jolida. I’d think, without further research, that you’d have that problem with an... | |
| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6?? I have actually owned the CS6, also the 2.2, 2.3.2.4 , 5.0 and MCS 1. The CS6 is a great speaker, requiring less amplification than the 7 or 5 series. The 6's have better bass than any of the 2 series, and aren't as difficult to set up as the 5's.... | |
| Thiel Owners I'm enjoying the thread this evening; It looks as though a lot more 3.6's were sold than CS6, as I don't see many in this forum who have the 6's. At present I'm listening to Cannonball Adderly through my CS6's powered by Krell fpb 250 monoblocks. ... | |
| Thiel Owners Glad to hear that Prof; I'm happily listening to the soundtrack album of "I'm Not There" a 2007 movie of Dylans' life as seen through different characters eyes.. 2 disks of some great interpretations of Dylan's songs..I've settled in at 8 ft apart... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof, I'm running out of cable when I move these CS6's to me: I guess I need to move to them. Also, moving these 140 lb beasts is not an easy task! I do like them further from the back wall: now I have them 63" from the back walls & 8ft apart.... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof,How far apart do you have your 3.7's, and how close are you? I have my CS6's 8ft apart and I'm 12 feet back. I've tried other positions, but this seems to suit me. Speakers are about 56" out from rear wall. | |
| Thiel Owners The 2.4's were on Audiogon under "new today" and I snapped them up for 2k. They are a one owner pair, cherry, in very nice condition. The speaker caps are not even dented. It'll be fun to compare them to the CS6's. Does anyone know if Rob is still... | |
| Thiel Owners Well I just picked up a pair of very nice cherry 2.4's for my HT setup! I had sold my previous pair after wrongfully decding they were too much speaker for the LR mains. I was left with powerplanes to go with an MCR1 center and two PowerPoint rear... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks robin I will give the PCS a shot. The MCS 1 is a killer center but it has to have the right supporting cast. Concur also on the inwall speakers, especially the front ones. My power points are ok, as they are more directional. With the mains... | |
| Thiel Owners Hey guys, I haven't posted in awhile, as I've been revising my separate HT system. Unfortunately, I sold my 2.4's to Bob in Dallas. I had the misapprehension that they were wasted as mains in HT duty.Wrong.I have Thiel power planes in wall right &... | |
| What do I Need in Order to Stream digital content and Store & Play CD's ? What would be examples of good streamers, for critical listening in my main system? Using my current Classe DAC, or with a Schitt Yggy..? |
