| Help with Thiel 2.4 Placement Ah...we meet again:) If you recall, we have similar gear. Along which wall did you place the speakers? What do you think is lacking? Imaging? Bass? Are they too bright? How far are they from the side walls and the front wall? How far are you sitti... | |
| Packaging floorstanding speaker-tips? I'm just wondering how so many A'goners are able to use Bax. Do they all own businesses? I called them and was told they will only accept shipments originating from commercial entities. You have to be a legitimate business to send something via Bax. | |
| Packaging floorstanding speaker-tips? Why not buy new boxes from Von Schweikert? That will add to the cost, but it would be the best way to go about it. Did you mean 60# each? If so, you would be safest by securing them to a pallet. I have heard many tales of woe from members who ship... | |
| Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner I initially was going to order mine from the XM site (which links to Polk, so you really order from Polk directly). The price was $299.95 with free shipping. When I went to pay, they added sales tax. I cancelled the transaction and went to another... | |
| Any opinions on the Symposium Acoustics Platforms? Hmmmmm!?...very odd. I fixed the link on my last post then the link on the first post now works...There must have been something funky happening with the server.I spoke with Peter at Symposium a couple weeks ago. He was very nice and passionate ab... | |

Here's the link to Symposium's site.Symposium Acoustics(It worked when I tested the link the last time and this time too. Hopefully it won't snafu again.)C... | |

| Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner I just ordered mine today and I can't wait for it to arrive!! I occasionally listened to the Delphi SkyFi unit connected via a mini-jack to RCA into my preamp. The sound was just okay at best, but probably better than FM. The SkyFi had a cheap DAC... | |

| Analog Upgrade Suggestions Welcome I have spoken w/ several reputable dealers and analog "gurus" all of whom felt the Shelter 901 would be a fine match w/ the SME arm. I purchased the Shelter and it will arrive this week. Thanks for all the input!Mark | |
| Don't think I'm crazy but... If you like the Thiel sound, you will need one of the larger models to fill out such a large space. I would look at the CS6 or CS7.2. You could find the CS6 for under $5K used, but shipping will be a big pain and expensive. You will then need some... | |
| Add another sub or go with F30's? I hope somebody might pick up this old thread. I have the M20s and the B15 that a friend wants to sell set up in my living room. I've hooked them up to my current reference system using a Classe Six preamp and Levinson 23.5 amp. WOW! very impressi... | |
| P1200 vs Shunyata Hydra I am using a P600 conncted to all my equipment (except VPI SDS). It can easily handle this load including my Mark Levinson 23.5 without any loss of dynamics. This amp is driving Thiels w/ a load somewhere between 3 to 4 ohms (about 400WPC continuo... | |
