The larger Thiels just don't have the air and high-frequency extension of the smaller ones. The CS7.2 and CS6 still have the unmistakeable Thiel midrange but sometimes it gets buried by the bass. The Thiel CS3.6 might just do the trick for me. I have considered adding a sub to my system but I fear a loss of transparency from the additional cabling and sub crossover network. It is still an option. I have sent Thiel and email inquiring about the SW1 but have not recieved a reply yet. Supposedly the SW1 is in production but I have not seen a single post from anyone who uses it. Can anyone recommend a first-rate sub?
My current amplification is Sim Audio Moon W-5. It has made a tremendous difference in the dynamics, speed, transparency of my system. Obviously having the right amp is essential to helping your speakers achieve their potential.
Foreverhifi2000, at the risk of sounding ignorant, what is the difference between an active speaker and hooking up a Bryston powerpack to any other speaker? I'm just not familiar with actives at all. Linn was doing a demo nearby for a dealer last night. Their featured product was Linn's active loudspeaker. I wanted to go but was unable. I think they said the speaker was 40k.
