Lamm M2.1 monoblocks driving Thiel 7.2?
I'd very much appreciate some advice too. Getting the itch to change the X250.5 over to Lamm 1.2 or 2.2; Boulder 1060; any suggestion would be much appreciated. Cheers 
Power for Thiel 7.2
Been real busy, squeezing in an Eva Cassidy and Wynton Marsalis here and there only.Lez, many thanks. Really appreciate it.I honestly think Thiels deserve a much higher profile that it currently has, be it here in Australia, or Asia where I bough ...

Thank you Rtnl for your kind advice.Have had my X250.5 for months now with fairly intense twigging.Agree with you entirely. I think the weakest link for a pair of speakers like these is certainly the amps. Do plan to try either the 600.5 or the XA...

Mark Levinson/Revel Support is tops
Here in Australia, for what it's worth, the service is atrocious too. Firstly there's only a repair facility in Sydney in the whole country, and secondly, again, they seem intent to charge whatever they want to "inspect" first.Most manufacturers a... 
Cables for Thiel CS6
I am using Cardas Golden reference throughout IC and speaker cables. I think the cardas balances the sometimes bright top end (as compared to say Sonus Faber or Avalon) and has an absolutely seductive midrange warmth, air and palpability to it tha...
