Thiel Owners

tom,

28Bs are one heck of a pair of monoblocs!  1000 watts into 8 ohms, and 1800 watts into 4 ohms. Inordinately low distortion .

I've noticed a change (for the better) in the power amplifiers, from 4B to 4BSST to 4BSST2 to 4B cubed.  My 4B cubed has a clarity, smoothness and bass control clearly beyond the SST2. Most noticeable in alto and soprano voices.  IMO, their 17 cubed preamp is a step up from the 26.

@brayeagle Last time I heard Bryston was a demo Gary Dayton was giving with Vandersteen in Southern Cal.. I asked him to compare the 26 vs the 17 cubed and he said the 17 cubed was the way to go. He claimed the new electronics were much better in the 17 cubed over the older 26 (which I owned for a few years)

Good to see you again.  Watch the usual on-line haunts for a pair of CS 7.2 loudspeakers. They usually come up for sale a few times each year.
Happy Listening!
