| Thiel Owners Arvin...I have owned three ARC preamps - LS2, LS2B, and an LS 3 - each attained at prices that were extremely reasonable. (The LS2B being the only tubed version.)At such prices they represent truly remarkable values given the build quality, perfo... | |
| Thiel Owners I’ve had a Rogue Cronus Magnum and it’s an incredible value - especially for tube gear. I forget why I sold it off...Probably because I’m on this site too much! | |
| Thiel Owners arvincastro,I was a child of the 60's and grew up in the heyday of the "receiver wars" - Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui, Marantz to name perhaps the most popular brands. Prior to becoming able to afford any one of those my family's "stereo" was a Mag... | |
| Thiel Owners arvincastro...I am also a BIG fan of the 3.5's.As to your comments regarding how these speakers reveal flaws up and down the chain, particularly with digital formats, I can only state that the existing issue is not the speakers.So far as tossing... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Personally speaking I wouldn’t do that. I haven’t done it. However...one of the MOST annoying aspects of purchasing equipment on A’gon is the 3-4% “fee” most sellers, individuals and bricks and mortar retailers alike, tack onto their merchandise ... | |
| Thiel Owners prof...I believe that I was running my first pair of 3.5's with a Cayin integrated that put out somewhere around 30 watts in triode believe it or not. As you've found yourself, running a little hotter volume wise really lets this brand sing but,... | |
| Thiel Owners dhoff01...Ya' know, describing the difference between the 3.5 and 3.6 models is something that I thought would be less than it really is, but the fact of the matter is that these are VERY different speakers. And far more different than moving "... | |
| Thiel Owners I’m freaking 60, very soon to turn 61, and since becoming a member on this lunatic site around 4 years ago I’ve burned through quite a few dollars on everything in the most futile of pursuits - perfection. Obviously my chronological advance has n... | |
| Thiel Owners Nah...my 3.6’s go 10hz lower and cost less than half. I’m sitting tight...for now. | |
| Thiel Owners In spite of my appreciation for BAT, I still believe that Pass Labs is one of, if not the best matches for Thiel. I just received my Reno Hifi 2018 calendar which also included a new Pass Brochure and I’m so...grrrr. We’re I a wealthier man...But... | |
| Thiel Owners Arniespin...The reason I went for the BAT over a more powerful Rogue model was twofold; 1.) One just wasn’t available at the time and 2.) I like swapping out stuff as quickly as possible and getting a decent enough trade-in toward the BAT expedite... | |
| Thiel Owners arniespin...I once had the Rogue Cronus Magnum Integrated a while back and I dug it like a shovel. I believe I had it going with a pair of Totem Rainmakers and a small REL sub. I very well might have sold that off when I got my 3.5’s and figgered ... | |
| Thiel CS2 So...how do you like them Thiels? | |
| Thiel Owners jonandfamily...In the 40 or so years that I’ve been buying “hifi” I’ve never blown a speaker nor a fuse. In all this time I’ve never given a single thought about a fuse’s impact on the sonics of my gear - which is not to say that I doubt there mi... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report To say that yesterday was a bad news day is an understatement. At virtually every get together I've attended over the years somewhere, somehow, Tom Petty makes it onto the playlist at everybody's house. Simply by playing TP & The Heartbreakers... |
