| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 And FYII just spoke to Mike Sanders- it was a pleasure and he in fact discouraged using the V4 with the Thiel 3.7's (which he seemed quite familiar with). The source impedance of the amp is too high and would not match with the speaker's fairl... | |

| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? it would be a very far stretch- used single units range around $4k (give or take $200)- and there’s the matter of finding 2 of similar age and tube usage.I was originally looking to spend some $5k for solid state- i realize tubes would be more but... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 I just asked the same question on another thread- would Quicksilver V4's make sense for the Thiel's? Latest version with KT150's produce some 170 watts.I plan to call Mike Sanders to hear what he thinks as well. | |
| Have opportunity to buy BHK 300's or Pass Labs 250.8 for my Thiel 3.7's- thoughts?? Thank you everyone. Believe it or not BOTH deals fell through one of which was as a result of an unreliable seller- but so be it,If I may, do you have any thoughts about Quicksilver V4 mono's? I have always wanted to try tubes with the Thiels. ... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Thanks for your reply Thieliste- I have not had time to look at the following option but I had read how a pair of Doshi Jhor mono's drove Wilson Sasha W/P very nicely. These last ones have a more benign impedance and phase curve than the Thiel's ... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Hi thieliste,I just wanted to chime in as I just started a thread asking for advice for amplification for Thiel 3.7’s- you can see it under pgastone as:Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist.....And here’s the twist:To make a... | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... Btw, I just that there is thread started by thieliste asking about the best separates combination for Thiel 3.7’s- what a coincidence!However there is one very notable difference- thieliste is playing in another league than mine- he’s looking for... | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... You mean the 860a?I do not think you can find one in my budget. | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... And speaking of the Aesthetix Calypso Bascom King and Paul McGowen did use it as a benchmark in developing the BHK Signature | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... I think I will indeed try to the ps audio forum and see what I get back.Btw, any thoughts with regards to the BHK signature preamp as helomech above did suggest that maybe a preamp upgrade might make more of a difference than a new amp- my underst... | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... @ unsoundyes, i am well aware of the difference between volume levels and ideal operating conditions- particularly for a sub 3ohm load where the amplifier needs to be capable of providing adequate sustained current and also manage dynamic peaks.as... | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... hmmmYou make a good point and I have thought about that. I just wasn't sure where the money would be better spend in terms of an upgrade considering the Primaluna is actually very good though maybe not quite at the level of say an Aesthetix Caly... | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... yes- have to be judicious about an amp for these Thiel's but the Mcintosh, which is a 252 and preamp in one, drives the speakers with absolutely no problems and can go much louder than i can stand. Now of course the Mac has autofomers so that i... | |
| Bryston 4b3 or BHK 250- how woudl you compare them? Hi,Sorry for the delay in responding but I was out for a couple of weeks. As usu many thanks for all your advice.aolmrd1241, I have just started doing some tube rolling with the Primaluna- I took a pair of NOS Tungsram I had installed in my Maste... |
