| Spatial X5 speakers Hi All, Interesting thread! Has anyone heard both the M3 Sapphire and X5 Premium? Can you please explain how they sound different? Thanks, Dsper | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound If you don't expect live volume levels, it might work. I was think thinking the same thing as this is not intended to be a full range, serious listening system. @miyu8 Your experience would indicate that 60 wpc of my CJ amp might ... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound and jazzman7 Appears that I need to find a more efficient speaker or else move on from the CJ amp. Maybe I need to give Fritz Speakers a call and see if he still builds floor standers. Or, I could consider Spendors like in the A serie... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound ...if you would consider other amplification... You make a very valid point. The other part of this for me is the desire to try a tube amp setup. For example the CS.5 is a 4 ohm speaker that is supposed to be able to run on 30 wpc per t... | |
| Primaluna? @brylandgoodman Wondering if people generally replace a single bad tube or if people are replacing all tubes of that type when there’s a failure. Not sure if anyone addressed this question in your post as the thread kind of got into a debate. I... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Hi All, I was so impressed with my used Mystique DAC that I ordered a new EVO 4B4, which I received in mid-November; so I have been using it for about two months. It took a while to break in and, at first, I thought I might have made a mistake. ... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Ah, it all makes so much more sense... The speakers could be a maximum of 30 inches into the room measured from the front of the speaker. They would be positioned on the short wall anywhere from five to eight feet apart. The listeni... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound Is this for an alternate system? Yes, it is. My wife inherited a property from her uncle so I need to stay within the boundaries of her decorating preferences. The room is 15 X 20 that WILL NOT have room treatments other than an area ... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant and unsound B&W is not on my high efficient speaker list. I have heard various of their floor standers and just do not like the treble. I think the 805's require like 50 watts minimum and my goal is something where 50 watts would b... | |
| Thiel Owners @unsound ...the Thiel’s are just better... I suspect that may be right but I can't help wondering. Maybe I need to try a seond setup with a good pair of standmounts and tube amp just to try it. | |

| Thiel Owners @jafant Happy New Year - ALL Happy New Year to you as well! My life with my CS5i's continues. I made a major improvement in my sound with a new EVO B4B DAC. Added detail and musicality. I just added a Don Sachs DS2 preamp that is not yet full... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @gochurchgo ...My fear with passives is sounding thin... I own an Axiom II passive and I understand your comment. In my experience, ever, a thin sound could reflect how the sound of your source is is playing nice, or not, with the rest of your ... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? Hi All, Good thread although I got confused, more than normal, with the buy American and auto sub-discussions. Entertaining but not necessarily helpful to select speakers🙂! Comments were made more than once that the speaker needs to fit the room... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition @gochurchgo I got my hours wrong, the DS2 has only 15 to 20 hours on it. Don't know where the 50 came from, although Don told me it would take that long to break in. It started out with a bit too much treble, but that went away pretty fast; an... |
