| Thiel Owners Jadis I88 is also another good tube option. | |
| Thiel Owners Speaking of tubes i also did consider integrated tube amps to drive CS 3.7s, the ones i was looking at are the Allnic T-2000 25th and the VAC Sigma 170i.Both of this integrated could probably do the job at moderate volumes in medium size room. | |
| Thiel Owners Congrats @jafant | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara Ok well if you are not considering integrated forget about Gryphon, the separates are too expensive for Thiel owners IMO.Only Diablo 120 or 300 is worth considering for CS 3.7s owners. | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara I completely agree about Luxman being kind of too warmish and meaty.I 've heard the the M900-C900 combo several times and was never blowned away.Gryphon integrated are much more fun, it's very dynamic, transparent, fast, huge sla... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara By musicality i mean organic, meat on the bone , engaging, the opposite of cold, thin and sibilant.This is the type of amp you need for 3.7s to sing.I would rather get the smallest Gryphon amp as opposed to Krell or Bryston for i... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara IMO in your small room even a used Gryphon Diablo 120 would be a significant upgrade over your AHB2.In terms of musicality Gryphon is in another league IMO.Just my 2 cents.I myself am waiting until a used Diablo 300 pops out to j... | |
| Who has has a totaldac DAC? @cal3713 Well it will be very difficult for me to purchase something other than Totaldac just because not other brands have the engagement,soul and density of Totaldac IMO and i have heard MSB Select ll, DCS Vivaldi, Lampizator Pacific and EmmLab... | |
| Thiel Owners Did anyone hear EAR Yoshino pre-power with Thiel speakers ?This brand is very musical but i wonder if EAR monoblocks could handle Thiel load. | |
| Who has has a totaldac DAC? Interesting thanks. | |
| Who has has a totaldac DAC? I spoke to a guys who has compared Totaldac d1-Twelve mk2 + d1-streamer vs Aqua Formula xHD + Aqua LinQ and he told me the Aqua combo is much better in his opinion.I shocked considering the Totaldac combo is almost double the price of the Aqua com... | |
| cost no object integrated amps I've heard the ASR Emitter ll in 2014 paired with Thiel CS 3.7s, great combo very smooth sounding but too many boxes need a lot of rack space.I think it's difficult to beat the Diablo 300 in that price range. | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers I'm in Europe so pretty easy to find used Borresens for me. | |
| Thiel Owners @vaankuil Aesthetix pre-power is beautiful with CS 3.7s, i have heard that combo with 3.7s.Possible to find used. | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers @rego Unbelievable transparency and biggest 3d soundstage ever.A mix of MBL, Magnepan and best cone speakers.Real live performance. |
