Well Dave, first of all I am glad, as a Thiel owner, to find another Audiogoner who does not hold the opinion that most Thiel models are inherently 'bright'. I've addressed this in other posts, but to put it briefly, what I often think is being preceived when people make this claim is non-optimal system matching or speaker set-up. A large part of this is due, IMO, to exactly the quality you mention, resolution, which Thiels possess prodigiously, whatever other faults one may care to lay at their feet. *If* there was a problem with RFI/EMI infecting the chain with the speaker cable as the point of entry (I know, unlikely), and *if* the Enacoms were effective at reducing it, then a Thiel speaker would undoubtedly be able to let one hear the difference. (None of which is to say you might not be correct in suspecting that Cdc's problem could be more fundamental than that. Or, maybe he simply doesn't like Thiels - though I would note that Jim Thiel, I believe, does employ some examples of the Krell amplification Cdc mentions as part of his 'development amp' arsenal.)
P.S. - Gloria, you're a trooper! I almost feel bad soliciting responses from Dave, as I can only picture you being put to work further (typing, that is, for those who don't know). Care to share some of your own thoughts with us sometime? :-)
