| Best single-malt Scotch... With regard to blended Scotches, I think the best I've had is the Johnny Walker Blue, but one can purchase much better Single Malts for half the price. I do enjoy the Haig and Haig Pinch and even Johnny Walker Black. | |
| PSB or Thiel? nOrh?? Actualy, i think the Thiels are pretty forgiving about placement, with in reason. The thing with Thiels is that they will maxamize the appreciation and consideration given to best placement, but, they will still work fairly well (again within reas... | |
| Vandersteen 2ci: what a pleasant surprise Bigtee nailed it. I've heard Vandy 2's in many incarnations in many diferent rooms, dealers included. Rooom and placement are paramount. Set up properly they may be the best bargain in all of audio. Set up improperly and they are sure to dissapoin... | |
| What amp for Thiel cs3.5's? Upgraded parts. | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Goinbroke, thanks for the correction. That might be better than being under the Harmon umbrella. | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts With all due respect to Elevick, I believe that Mondial the parent company for Aragon has recently been bought by Harmon. Judging by the previous comments posted here on Audiogon, I think it's fair to say that Harmon's reputation for customer serv... | |
| What amp for Thiel cs3.5's? Ketchup, let me first advise you that the notion of doubling down, is just that, a notion. The truth of the matter is more often than not a manufacturer will under rate their amps power out put into 8 Ohms, ergo their 4 Ohm loads appear to be "dou... | |
| What amp for Thiel cs3.5's? Ketchup, not all Sonographe SA250's are able to "double down". Only the most recent limited special edition samples have this capability. | |
| Thiel speakers... one more try The McCormack amp should be up to powering the Thiels. My only concern is the some what forward nature of the McCormack preceeding the some what forward nature of the Thiels. On the other hand the McCormack is taut enough in the bass and suave eno... | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Bombaywalla, you've got the idea. I think it was NAD, maybe 20 years ago, that was really pushing this concept. It does make some sense for budget gear. Of course there are no free rides and you rareley see more ambitious products touting this con... | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Bombaywalla, I thought dynamic headroom was in reference to an amps ability to increse its typical steady state power output for brief moments. | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Ketchup, while its not my first choice, I do like the Bryston 3B ST. As I said before, while the Thiels appreciate as much power as they can get, depending on your room and desired listening levels, I think a really top quality solid state amp rat... | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts 3B ST! | |
| Thiel speakers... one more try Thiel. | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Ketchup, no I don't own the 3.5's. Your Thiels deserve a real quality amp. When they were new they were often paired with amps in excess of $3K. Your budget is a'hem, challenging. Here on Audiogon there are a couple of Aragon 4004's for sale, an o... |
