Thiel Owners @ig316b , That’s a bit of an open ended question? Not all subwoofers are the same. Amongst other things, many subwoofers are ported as well. Ported speakers have the advantage of providing more bass in a smaller box and/or more efficiently. How... | |
Buckeye Amps musicality? Not measurements, musicality.... I’d rather someone give me their honest opinion, rather than holding my hand while just telling me what I want to hear. | |
Thiel Owners @ig316b, A pair of subs that are well implemented would certainly help those speakers particularly in the bass region, but it will be nearly impossible to totally eliminate a delay in a portion of the frequency response. No, you will not get the ... | |

Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? @drmuso , CD standard calls for 2 V ouput from RCA, HDCD standard calls for 2.2 V output from RCA. Balanced XLR ouput doubles that. Depending on the DAC's bit count,voltage and impedance outputs, included volume control, available switching capabi... | |

Crossover or crossoverless @bdgregory , Roy of Green Mountain advocated for 1st order / 6 dB crossovers. In practice they were more complicated than standard text book illustrations, in that they had elements added to compensate for driver irregularities, etc. in an effort ... | |
Thiel Owners @brunner007, I agree with your plan. Your Threshold SA/2’s should be adequate (just) in the interim, but choosing your speakers first is prudent. Though waiting until you are in your next room might make more sense. | |
Thiel Owners @brunner007, While perhaps not addressing you immediate question; the Threshold SA/2’s while very lovely amps with good current delivery into impedance, I think the Threshold SA/ 2’s have about the bare minimum power output needed for some of the ... | |

Thiel Owners @audiofilio123, Respectfully; if you subtract all the marketing fluff, those specs aren’t all that special. |
