Thiel Owners

tomthielThank You for addressing my query on right phase angles. I know that all of you guys are occupied with work and various other activities/interests.Looking forward to other contributors chiming in on their power amps outside of the Ayre, Classe', Krell, Mark Levinson and Pass Labs owners.Hope you are well today and enjoying your Hot Rod garage.
Happy Listening!

holco,Thank You for citing the specs of your Audio GD power amp. Those ratings are incredible! With those figures, I have no doubt about under-driving your CS 2.4 loudspeakers. I have really enjoyed reading about your cross-over upgrade project as well. Glad you are a member of the Panel.
Happy Listening!

andy2Thank You for providing your expertise as well. Agreed, amp design as it addresses feedback vs no-feedback is pivotal for our speakers. I try nt to get too tied up in the manufacturer specs as well. Reading across other Audio forum threads, other Thiel owners are enjoying some of the lesser known power amps and/or integrated amps with success. Along the lines of designers not citing 2 ohm power ratings, I also find, peak current delivery in amperes (A) not reported.  John Atkinson of Stereophile fame and Paul Miller of HiFi News & Record Review fame do a pretty good job of reporting pertinent figures/ratings as discussed here.
Happy Listening!

On another related thread, desmond888 , is working on a cross-over project upgrade as well. You guys check out his progress as your schedules allow.  Very cool to have so many DIY guys making improvements and upgrades on an already Legendary design.
Happy Listening!

JA - how do we access desmond's project. Or, can you get him to report here?
