Thiel Owners

A Happy New Year, and as my Scottish ancestors used to say at First Footing: 

"Lang May Yer Lum Reek."

"Lang may yer lum reek” is a Hogmanay greeting, implying "May you never be without fuel for your fire!", but more literally translates into "Long may your chimney smoke!”

Happy New Year everyone.  Thanks Jafant for keeping this thread rolling.  

Happy New Year! All

Thanks for the great response. Last month I had my electrician install a dedicated AC line for my stereo equipment. Think the line is on a dedicated 20 amp breaker. I also have a Monster Power HTS 5100 power center for my equipment. The HTS 5100 makes it really easy to power on and off all of the equipment at one time.

While I really like my DR-8 amps, wondering if it would be worth locating a pair of DR-9 amps for the extra power. At 4 ohms the DR-8 in mono mode has 560 watts and the DR-9 would have 800 watts. Just do not know if it is worth the time and hassle to locate a pair of DR-9 amps and sell the DR-8 amps. Plus my DR-8 amps are in mint condition and have consecutive serial numbers (if that even matters).
