| Threshold Stasis 5.0 preamp Perhaps worth a try: About | vintageamprepair (wordpress.com) diyAudio | |
| Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains. McDonalds main business is real estate. McDonalds has demonstrated a pattern of increased profits during a downturn in the economy. | |
| Tuner choice With regard to @harrylavo 's post, depending on your location and desired stations to be tuned in; besides sensitivity, selectivity can be an important spec consideration | |
| Thiel Owners @fsgattuso, While I typically suggest going low at the cross-over point to subwoofers; with the CS 1.5’s I think you’ll need to go higher to reduce strain on the woofers. Perhaps to 65-70 Hz. BTW, I strongly suggest going with at least 2 subs rath... | |
| Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio Didn’t TacT do this decades ago? Doesn’t Lyngdorf still do it? | |

| Your experience/thoughts on Meadowlark speakers, esp., Kestrel, 2, hot rod. etc IMHO, easier to drive but not as good as Thiels. YMMV. | |
| DHL and the definiton of insanity Perhaps you can pick it up at DHL? | |
| Thiel Owners @sdl4 , I’m not completely sure of the following, but I seem to recall reading a discussion where Bruno Putzeys said something to the effect that GaNFETS were indeed superior devices but a their current costs one could just as easily build Class A... | |
| Thiel Owners It seemed to me that the weakness of the 3.5’s might be due to the paper surrounds of the midrange drivers. The woofers seemed sturdy enough. | |
| Thiel Owners As has been discussed here many moons ago, I think that crossing a subwoofer over at the 40 Hz setting would be more advantageous. |
