When I ought my 3.5s from Don, I was using a HH Scott preamp and a Scott power amplifier I had built from kits in 1961. I’d been using a series of bookshelf speakers - - ending up with my wife’s pair of AR3a speakers. We had recently moved into our new home with large living and family rooms, and now we could enjoy some floor-standing speakers.
Someone suggested the Listening Room., so my wife and I went there on a Saturday. We both fell in love with the Thiel 3.5s. She said: "Get Them," to which I responded "Yes, Dear!"
Don strongly suggested I acquire a better amplifier; however, finances were strained at that time. I finally had to admit the Scott wasn’t up to the job of filling the living room in our new home. I contacted Thiel, and Jim Thiel recommended Bryston amplifiers.
BTW: Tom’s description of Don’s aversion to esoteric cables is apt. Don ended up steering me to The Audio Critic, and I’ve been a Belden guy since.
