Does a Class D amp match well with Thiel Speakers?

We're in total agreement.

Good listening.

In response to Mapman's thread. He is correct that most powerful amps are big, heavy, run hot as Hades, but the Magtech only weighs 55 lbs and idles at I believe 12 watts. It runs cool and designed to be left on all the time if you desire. I had a McIntosh MC-402 before I purchased the Magtech. I was a little skeptical about this amp, but the Magtech has a 30 days free trial period and after I listened to it, the Mac went up for sale. I just can't understand why someone that needs a highpowered amp that is reasonably priced would not opt to try the Magtech. It want cost you a dime to try it for 30 days. Before some of you folks jump on me for touting this amp, NO, I have no business interest with Sanders Sound Systems. I am just a very happy customer who believes that it is a fantastic amp with a real world price and a lifetime warranty. I am driving a pair of Duntech Sovereign speakers and they have never sounded better. Just my 2 cents worth. Happy listening fellow audiophiles.

Larry is right .. in fact I'm enjoing the Lector Zoe tube preamp in front my Parasound Halo JC1's - Thiel CS2.4 more than the Pass Labs X1

I prefer speakers capable of "analytical sound". Its usually not too hard to tame them as needed or if desired.

Remember, its not generally hard to take something (like detail) away if it is there, but it is impossible to add it accurately if not.

An analogy is HD TV. The more resolution and detail out of the can, the better. Detail can easily be filtered if needed or desired later from there with a few simple adjustments on a good set.

I suspect there are few video buffs that would not want as much resolution and detail as possible, yet this abounds with audio buffs. Go figure!

Can anything we listen to really be any worse than watching Snookie in hd?

To MAPMAN: AMEN brother. You called it like it is. Thanks for saying it. Wish I had thought to say it. Couldn't have been stated any better.
