sdl4 - Thank you for your response. From my personal perspective as an ageing audiophile, I don't see many younger folks having any real interest in listening to reproduced music beyond MP3-type entertainment and/or media rooms.

Nice catch! I hope those 1.5 speakers find the next good home.

Happy Listening!

Fall Equinox - ALL

I stumbled across a pair of CS1.5 speakers at a thrift store.  Beautiful teak finish, no scratches.  $200.  I put them in my 10' x 12' studio/office building in the back yard.  I have to say I'm blown away by them.  Right now I'm driving them with an Onkyo TX-NR555.  It is rated down to 6 ohm speakers and these are what 3 ohms?  Will that damage the amp / speakers or just not sound as good?

My dad was an acoustical physicist and audiophile.  I inherited his McIntosh kit, MC2200 amp, C28 preamp, 4 MC-1C speakers.  The amp and preamp need to be refreshed.  Probably the speakers too.

Listening to the Thiels reminded me of the flat response of the old Mac system. What a joy!

Would the MC2200 / C28 make them sound a lot better?  I'm thinking it is time to get those properly refurbished.  I remember the MC-1C speakers sounding great but the Thiels sound even better.  Thoughts?
