Thiel Model 2
Steven,I frankly do not.THIEL's new owners should be able to reference this for you, though.Sorry for the delay in answering, I just now came back.Best of luck.LARRY 
Which preamp tubes in my amp make the most difference when rolling?
Great advice jb.Also, you could check with Brent Jesse. In my dealings he's been honest and straightforward. Good luck.Larry

I did not read all the posts, so if this is a repeat, I'm sorry. The Avatar is a great amp, first of all. I love it, owned one. Second, Kevin Hayes, owner, designer of VAC, would be your best source of 'What if'.He will be completely honest.BTW, t... 
Conrad Johnson Premier 18LS pre-amp??. Need feedback from owner or former owners
Jim,Another thought, think of Jadis.  You may luck out and find one of their preamps. They have a wonderful smoothness that is seductive. Not the same voicing as a cj, but wonderful. Some prefer it to cj. I love it too.That broadens your search.Go...

Amp upgrade for Thiel CS 3.7
Krell has always made well respected products, yet...Please do not be offended: I find the Krell to be somewhat lacking in imaging, AND, to me, sounds a bit grainy in the upper midrange. I would not choose it, but that's me. You do need a stable a...

We all have our preferences, whether voice, or a particular piano, say Yamaha, Steinway... Alto Sax, Selmer Mark IV or another, Strad Violin versus other classics. Me, I've always loved the sound of CJ. For over thirty years now, I have appreciate... 
Thiel 3.5 equalizer advice
The Equalizer doesn't  just work in the bass. It works at other frequencies to help flatten the overall response.Good Listening.Larry Staples

Linn Klout - Playing Loud With Low Impedance Speakers
Naimfan.I stand corrected. I shouldn't have assumed this was the problem.Sorry to all.Larry 
LSA1's - Anyone familar with them?
I believe that you'll find that the LSA1's are a more neutral loudspeaker. It sounds unfiltered, uncolored and nicely blended, (woofer and tweeter).Yes, for $200. more the difference is fairly amazing. Crossover parts were changed from inexpensive... 
Linn Klout - Playing Loud With Low Impedance Speakers
Without knowing more, I'd say that the power supply of the Linn is not up to the current demands of a low impedance loudspeaker.While I'm sure it's musical, it's simply running out of current when pushed.As the impedance of a loudspeaker dips belo... 
LSA1's - Anyone familar with them?
Absolutely, John Tucker did a wonderful job of choosing crossover components of the highest order for the Upgraded Signature and Statement speakers, as well as the Signature and Statement Amps.He is a talented designer and has a special line of pr... 
LSA1's - Anyone familar with them?
Edincleve,I founded LSA, which originally stood for Larry Staples Audio. I designed the speakers to sound very pleasant, image well (hence the cabinet shape which at the time was unusual, with radius sides). They measure very flat and have excepti...
