How do you get a 250 lbs Speaker on an SP-101?
Jim,What I did was move my speakers around until I got them dialed in right ( distance away from walls, correct toe-in, height of speaker etc.). The height is important because with the SP-101 they will be elevated at least 3". Once you have the s... 
Anybody heard Sistrum stands under Martin Logan??
I've been encouraging Thiel owners to do the same. I agree with what you said Celine ,but what also I like is that you can raise the height of the speakers. Now I can sit a little lower than the tweeter and with the Thiels it makes a big differenc... 
Parasound JC-1 vs. Pass 250.5
Frankg,I could be mistaken, but I thought he said "best period". After that comment he mentioned that he personally owns the X350.5. That is what lead me to believe he thought it was the best sounding Pass amp. I would audition both and take home ... 
Parasound JC-1 vs. Pass 250.5
I agree that with the X350.5 the difference is very significant. It is a much smoother sounding amp then the 350. I would not say it is warm but sweet in the mids and silky in the uppers and very musical. I called Pass today and spoke with Ken Eng... 
Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy?
Thiels are a double edged sword. They will reveal any flaws in the equipment upstream. Any minor change(s) in the system with Thiels can yield significant results (good or bad). However, if you spend the time with proper speaker placement you will... 
Review: Pass Labs X350.5 Amplifier
I've had my Pass X 350.5 for a few months now. It really is incredible. It has passed the 300 hour mark and is still improving. It drives my Thiels easily. If you have heard the X350 but not the X350.5 hold your opinions until you hear the new ver... 
Sistrum Platforms under floor standing speakers
I went from the SP-1 to the SP-004 and finally the top dog SP-101. The improvement was incredible. I had the Audiopoints under my Thiels and the SP-101 brought my system to another level. What impressed me the most is they play louder. Try it. Kee... 
Pass X250.5 or Plinius SA 250
Pal,Do you know what speakers you will get? This question needs to be answered first to help you determine an appropriate amp. How do you know how much power you will need? The amps you mention are very different from one another. The Plinius woul... 
A big thanks to Thiel

What speaker after Thiel 7.2?
Cinematic_systems,I would appreciate your opinion of the Thiel CS 2.4. You mentioned you liked the 2.4 and I'm interested in knowing what particulaly you like or dislike. Also what type of music did you play when you had the 7.2 in your home? What... 
CES and AYRE
Sammie,Thanks for the update. 
CES and AYRE
I do not understand Ayre's marketing philosophy. Their web site does not have their new universal player advertised, dealers are basically clueless, they blew a great opportunity at CES to reveal their new player and people did not even notice the... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Avguru,Reading some of your past posts I see you like the Ayre CX-7. I agree with you on the bass which truely is amazing. Have you or any others auditioned Ayre's new universal player? They do not even list it on their website yet I have heard th...
