Thanks for your comments @tomthiel. I am not familiar with the process of developing speakers so the description you gave of the engineering chamber where speakers were put up with tweeters 10’ above the ground made me imagine the Bat cave with Th...

Hi Everyone,3.7s owners I would like your feedback.  What is the minimum size room you think is appropriate for them?  I'm not asking for the optimal size, but one whereby if you went any smaller, it significantly damages the ability for the 3.7s ...

@Tomthiel, what did Jim use as a preamp when developing the CS3.7s, do you know? Were there certain brands or types (tube vs. ss) that he gravitated towards?

I’m struggling to make a decision now that my pre/pro is dead. Lately, I’ve become interested in digital delivery, both storing media via a NAS and streaming. I still have a CD collection but the digital aspect I find extremely convenient, especia...

Thanks @holco. Never heard of Audio-gd, but am open to taking a look and will look at their products.  The price is really reasonable.  Has anyone else here used their preamps or DACs?Thank you for the suggestion, jafant. My brother is starting to...

Thank you brayeagle—got those 28s used! I will definitely audition the BP17s, thanks for that suggestion. I also took a quick look at the SP4s and while the specs look incredible, I just can’t drop that much coin on tech that seems to change so mu...

Hi Everyone,My Anthem AVM20 pre/pro that I’ve had for over 15 years has just died. Originally, I was using my system for 75-80% HT and the remainder 2-ch. since then it’s now about 50/50. I’m looking for some thoughts on a pre/pro or preamp that h...

Hello everyone, it’s been a long time. Lost my job and finally got a new one, so my audiophile hobby was put on hold. Had a chance to dust off my system and start listening again. Man I love good music and good sound!Curious if there is a sonic di...

Does anyone know where I can pick up an extra aluminum grilles for a pair of Thiel PowerPlane 1.2s? Do you guys think Rob would have some? I called but he’s out until Monday.

I whole heartedly agree with you, prof, which is why I haven’t spent much on cable myself. However, when I upgraded my amp to monoblocks and needed longer interconnects, I took the opportunity to get some "better" second hand cables. I don’t need ...

Tom--your insight is again very helpful, thank you.

Thank you Tom for your thoughts.  Your comments that the internal wire is a different animal from the amp-2-speaker one does make me want to revisit just going with SW without auditioning others.  Maybe I should just save up my money and go with G...

Hi pops, thanks for sharing your experience with SW.  Very interesting indeed!  I haven't spent much time with cabling other than making sure it's sufficient gauge (all at least 10awg).  However, as I finalize all my components, I'm sure I'll reac...

Hi Jon_5912, if the price is per pair, then the pricing makes complete sense to me!  I must have missed that point, so thanks for the clarification.
