Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference
A pair of Thiel 5i's just went for 3K.That was the asking price anyway.What a steal!I heard the 2.4's at Thiel Audio last year.They are a great sounding speaker.Cinematic-Why don't you post your reference system on AudiogoN instead of your "bedroo...

Looking for a "dark" sounding xlr ic....?
Your EC amp is on the warm side.From what I've read,your Adcom should sound fairly neutral.You dont say what silver interconnects you are using.That can make or break your sound.A good silver should not sound bright.I have heard bright silver inte...
