@audiofilo123, The SCS’s can be just the right Thiel’s for many small rooms. The versions without the decorative only cabinet extensions of the “T” version are probably the preferred model though.  
Oppo 205 with Parasound JC-1s
@arnold_h Running an Oppo 205 directly into amplifiers can be a great set up....in the right system. The JC 1's might not qualify with their pretty sensitive (especially for ss) input of 1 V for full output, rather than the 2 V more commonly see...

With the growth of mult-channel streaming perhaps it might be time to reconsider the notion of surround sound as only a home theater sound effects concept going forward?

The Oppo 205 uses a 9038Pro for the stereo outputs and a 9038Pro for the surround sound outputs. The Magnetar uses a 9038Pro for the stereo outputs and a 9028 for the surround outputs.

Threshold Stasis S/150
FYI, the Threshold S series amps (perhaps a bit generously) were rated as outputting the first 20% of their 8 Ohm output into 8 Ohms per channel as Class A. The Class A output would halve as impedance halved, while the Class AB output would simult...

^Caps can last a few decades. Some of these amps can be 42 years old.

@highend64 IMHO:..., Your room might be too small for theses speakers. With their minimal baffles and also inherent warm, ripe sonice signature; they need space from surrounding walls. They also need space from the listening position for proper...

Toe in will typically increase direct high frequency, but decrease reflected high frequency. Reflected high frequency can be more objectionable. A tiny bit of toe in can offer some compensation for limited available listening distance. For example...
