| 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. | |
| Thiel Owners @johnnotkathi, Thank you for saving me from having to reply. For those who might eschew the objective, and might prefer the subjective; i suggest comparing the output with one’s ear in direct proximity of a loudspeakers drivers with source turn... | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW, the SINAD measurements would suggest otherwise. Not all switch-mode power supplies are the same. At the $1K (and perhaps even more) is a compelling consideration. | |
| Thiel Owners @johnnotkathi, Take this with a grain of salt. Jim Thiel thought Class D amps were only suitable for sub-woofer duty. But a lot of progress has been made with Class D since Jim's passing. I haven't experienced these for myself. Before consid... | |
| Thiel Owners As Tom said; ..."Consult Stereophile's review for details and considerations."... Thiel CS1.6 loudspeaker Measurements | Stereophile.com The high sensitivity might be misleading considering the below 4 Ohm impedance, and the somewhat recactive l... | |
| Opinions on Dunlavy Aletha Speaker I realize this an old thread, but does anyone know if replacement parts are still available for this model? | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel, of course you would know better than me. But, aside from being able to make the under hung motors more available across the various models , which is somewhat negated by the lowered price point models using different woofers anyway, I ... | |
| Thiel Owners “Listening to a sealed speaker you hear the bass in real time and it’s difficult to go back.” I very much agree! | |
| Soeaker cables technologic dilema… @amtprod, You might wan to use the Goertz alpha-core RC-Networks (zobels) attached to the speaker terminals regardless, as there is no sound reason not to, and the potential protection might keep your amplifer from frying. Especially recommended ... |
