Thiel Owners

Jafant,thanks!Its nice to talk to people who can relate to his hobby and that have similar equipment!I am using a xpa 5 with my 3.7's instead of my xpa 1 monos.I made the change because of ease of use for the family.While I don't think there was a big difference going from monos back to a 5 channel,I didn't a/b the change.Do you think you still get good sound from a 5 channel amp with the Thiels?

I know Emotiva aren't the best,but I had to save somewhere because 3.7's were so expensive.While I wasn't thrilled with the amps,they were affordable.The Xpa 1 amps really sound better with my B&W 805 in the basement?I had a Adcom 5500 ,and both  emos were better.I guess that's not saying much though!The only thing that's helps using the xpa 5 is that I don't listen too loudly.Ive never heard my 3.7's with a really good amplifier,haven't had one yet.

Good to have you aboard- corvette01-

I look forward to your impressions, thoughts and listening preferences on all things Thiel.  You are in for quite a ride. Sure, a 5-channel amp is fine. The more robust, the better.  Do not forget about power amp(s) that support high current as well.  You own a nice system.

Happy Listening!
