| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? I have direct experience with the DNA 1 and Thiels in a large room.Unless you drive them to SILLY loud levels, it will be fine. You need current and watts... I think 100 wpc is under powering the 3.6's | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? You see...the last post (Stevecham) is the exact point a number of us have been making.Even an amp as fine as the bryston 7bst is unable to deliver enough current for the Thiels.A high current delivery amplifier is an absolute must. | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? You'll be happy with the McCormack DNA1 or the Classe 201.I'd negotiate the best price you can and you'll be happy with the resulting performance of the 3.6's | |
| Need some recommendations on Tube Preamps I have 2 great choices for you.Audible Illusions Mod3A....commonly available her on the'Gon...well under $2000 sweet sounding, very dynamic, with great bass. Mates wonderfully with solid state amplifiers..... The tube choice is key here. Great pre... | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? One thought,The McCormack DNA 1 is a fine amplifier that has stood the test of time.It's WAY better than a number of the recommended amps with the Thiels and can be found on Audiogon for 900-1100.A good choice that has been a proven match for the ... | |
| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? Unfortunatley, I think the sub $1000 budget is tough for the 3.6's.As a long term Thiel owner, ther's no substitute for adequate current. The quality output devices and power supplies to provide adequate current aren't cheap to build. I'm afraid y... | |

| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Thanks everyone for the wonderful suggestions.The Orpheus, Universe, Allaerts, Dynavector XV-1s are all in excess of 4K.I'd love to try them all.After the purchase of the Raven One and the Graham, I'll need some time to be recoup, and be able to s... | |

| Amplifier advice for Wilson Sophia speakers I have the Sophia 1's in a similar room. My room, however needs a significant amount of power to adequately pressurize the space with lifelike bass. The bass characteristics of your room need to be a primary issue in your choice.The Sophias LOVE t... | |
