Gary- please report back after consulting Rob on the prices of new vs. rebuild of those Woofers.  Happy Listening!

@rosami  best sounding Thiel C's 3.7s I have heard to date is driven by Aries Cerat Concero 65 monoblocs.
No SS amps can come close to this level of musicality, very rich and organic sound.
Problem with Aries Cerat is that the gear is huge, extremely heavy and generates a lot of heat.
A dedicated room is a must for this level of gear.
With my wife we have listened to CH Precision pre-power and it was not as engaging as Aries Cerat but still very liquid.
Cheers

Thieliste, been waiting for your final conclusion after completing your Europe sampling trip. What is the best system for the 3.7? The Aries?

@thielrules, Yes Aries Cerat preamp and monoblocks is in another league paired with the 3.7s, it is even more musical and engaging than the Ypsilon pre-power.This level of musicality is impossible to reach with SS.If you are ready to spend 46K and cope with size and weight of the gear than i would recommend Aries Cerat no question.Regarding myself i have not yet made a decision between Aries Cerat and CH Precision, the later one being much easier to live with, not heat and the gear is totally future proof.I cannot afford to make a mistake because here we're talking 80-90K worth of pre-power.This will be my end game system.
