Looking to hear from Thor owners
SpringbokPlenty power from the TPA 30 with the Tyler D10's?My next step is source or amps. What amp did you have before the 30's? 
Marantz sa-11s3
Looking at the sa-8004 also and curious if the sa-11s3 would really sound $2000-3000 better?? 
I need speakers for low volume listening -
dont know the rest of your set-up but when I added a quality preamp, lower volume listening was improved 100%. 
Marantz SA8004 is fundamentally musical
How about the DAC? Have any of the 8004 owner posting here used it for ipod playback? I will be looking for a cdp soon and the 8004 is on my short list.

12ax7 vs 5751
The Amperex are working out very well for me. They have taken the edge off of the cd's I really had trouble tolerating before. This is the first set of tubes I have bought so I dont know what to expect with break in etc. They seem to have opened u... 
Resistor to tone down tweeter?
HifitimeThanks for the input. I will probably go ahead and replace the other tweeter. At least then I have two new tweeters to make a better decision. A little room treatment may help my cause also.I will take a look at the link you provided. 
sub-woofer recommendation for 2.1 channel
I use a Velodyne sub with the high level speaker inputs. All you have to do is run another set of speaker leads from your speaker outs on the amp to the sub and you can use the crossover built into the sub to get it where you want. I have it set l... 
Opinion on Zu speakers vs Merlin tsm
Anyone have much experience with the Essence? 
Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker
HighcI was thinking of trying the Essence. What is your strength vs weakness opinion on them?I currently have Focal 918s. Just curious how they may compare?Thanks 
Resistor to tone down tweeter?
MagfanYes it was. The whole tweeter housing has to be changed on the Focal 918 because they are so custom mounted. Wish they would have spent more on the tweeter than the custom mount.:)They are the same model # also. Im quite happy with the diffe...
