Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's
I think what I am going to try to do is audition (buy with option to send back) the Channel Island D200 MKII's. From all the reviews I've been reading they have a very "tube" sound with a warm midrange and smooth highs without any harshness or gra... 
Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's
Thanks for the response. To be clear I did have a modified Acurus LS11 but it didn't do me any favors. The highs and lows sounded about the same - meaning a bit bright. Right now the only thing I have to go on is that when I added the VTL preamp t...

My last comment should read: "Now I do really like the speakers but maybe I should get rid of them. I know many people will tell me to do just that -" Also the "flat" comment was in response to the Adcom Curse you iPad and your auto correct!!!

Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
I might try a CJ, but my budget would limit me to a classic line stage or et-2 or et-3As it stands now I will be ussing a NAD M51 DAC that will allow me to run 2 channel sacd's thru hdmi or redbook cd's. It's getting great reviews and it can be us... 
what makes a good CD player
I see what you all are getting at, and I know its what sounds good to my ears. The problem is my ears arnt near any hifi stores and the nearest one is 2 hours away. So I need to be able to research without hearing, because if I don't like what I h... 
Can SACD's be played in ony 2 channel format
But is the 2 channel 16 bit or 24 bit playback?Also, I read this ariticle from 2002. It doens't seem to kind to SACD's, but alot of it was over my head.http://sound.westhost.com/cd-sacd-dvda.htmI would have thought SACD's would sound better than t... 
Can SACD's be played in ony 2 channel format
"Stereo tracks are either 16 bit (CD layer) or DSD (SACD layer)."I think I got it. Is the SACD layer for multi channnel or can you have SACD 2 channel? Sorry for so many questions, but I just want to be clear. 
Can SACD's be played in ony 2 channel format
Are the stereo 24 bit or 16, or does that vary too? 
What to do next . . .?
"If your wife shows you enough mercy to install the system in the living room, remember you will need to distance your speakers from the wall to get the best out of them, unless they were specifically designed to be at the wall.That should test yo... 
What to do next . . .?
Well all it good in the world. I convinced my wife to let me move the system into the living room (approx. 16d x 22w x 10h). Sounds much more open, though I've lost a bit of bass. Speakers are on the long wall. So i'll live with this a few weeks a...

"Let me get this straight ... you own both the Denon and Cal audio, and yet you ask which is better to a bunch of folks on Audiogon."We'll - yes. Last night I tried the Denon unit. I can't say I heard any really noticable difference. I think the D... 
I have 2 cd players, which is better musically
"Those of us who have tried them don't like them because they sound bad! My friend has an upper level Denon that he has used as a transport or a player. It is not very good at either. 15 years is a long time all right, time enough for a serious de...
