Ok folks, here is the update! For home theater forget the equalizer! You do not need it! For those of you that insist it is needed, a dumb question I will pose to you ... are you using or have you used the system described in order to be qualified to jump in and critique? If you are then bless you!! Your preference is the equalizer being used. By golly if the head of Thiel support does not reccomend it if a sub is in use... who am I to question him? He's been there a while!!
Anyway, the report ... the Focal center integrates with the Thiels extremely well, the whole thing is seamless. The CS2's as surrounds are absolutely awesome. I played the scene from The Dark Knight where Ledger steals the semi to go after the convoy carrying the councilman and I have to say, the realistic bullets flying over my head and the realistic sounds of bullets going through metal were phenomenal. The bombings are incredible, the HSU sub again, matches the Thiels like they belong together. The NAD T955 is still trying to get a workout and it has not. It is handling the speaker set up like they are wimpy things. Tron The Legacy absolutely blew me away! The clarity, depth and detail are amazing. Essentially I am saying that I whole heartely reccomend the CS3's SANS equalizer as fronts with the CS2's as surrounds. Look at it this way, I have a total of $1,200.00 in current money tied to a set up that today will cost over $23,000.00 to replace! And yes, it does sound like it is worth that much!! Merry Christmas everyone! I am about to sit back and watch Marsalis and Willie Nelson on Blue Ray!!
Hit them straight!!!!
