THIEL CS3.7 Anyone heard them?
"With respect to a sub, Thiel's smart sub system is amazing. It does far more than "add bass". In fact, adding much bass to a well broken-in and well-fed pair of 3.7's in a moderately sized room would be overkill"I had the same impression of the b... 
Emotiva XDA-1 or HRT Streamer II+
Thanks for the info on this thread. It helped me choose the Emotovia. I think it is now being dicountinued since it is being sold for $199. I plan to use it as a desktop office DAC mainly for streamed music from MOG.com 
Very small Integrated and speakers used
Audioengine 2 or 5. I use the 2 on my desktop. It's good for streaming services such as MOG. I had worse when I was a student. 
Do Thiel dealers discount?
Thiel and Bryston sound great. Congratulations on the 3.7's. I think they are pretty damn amazing. Great choice. I use Bryston with SCS4's, wish I could find the space for 3.7's. 
Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s?
Thiel has a new Sub out for this year, which is a little smaller in size than the previous model. I am looking to get that for my SCS4's. 
400-450Wpc Integrated to drive Thiel 2.3/2.4?
Thiel has a Facebook page to ask them questions. Very responsive.

Thiel CS 3.7 Owners and Room Size
Ncluff52 thanks for the info. Your room is perfect size for the CS 3.7's. If I had that space I wouldn't hestitate and would have bought the CS 3.7's. My room is missing space in the width dimension, it's only 11.5 feet.I sent some photos of my ro... 
Revel Ultima Solon 2s w/ Pass Labs amps
I had 300 watts on the Salon 1 and found it needed more. I then switched to 700 watts and found it a better match. The room I had was a little large and I listened at a high volume (not ear bleeding). 
Mini Maggies ?
Macd,Do you think this system would sound correct if the floorstanding woofer were placed at the same height as the 2 small panels or does the woofer have to be on the floor? I can only put these in my office on a very long bookshelf (36" tall). I... 
REVEL Salon2s - What Amp is needed? Subs needed?
I love the bass on the Salons. When I had them in a 16' x 23' room I never used a sub. The bass was perfect for my tastes. I used a Bryston 7B-SST. 
Thiel model 3.7 - nice speaker.
I love the Thiel CS3.7. The bass is not as massive as in my former Revel Salon1 but the Thiel is a pretty amazing package for the price and I like it more than the Salon. I like it over all the speakers I heard in the 20K and under range. I am goi... 
Sooloos vs. Sonos
All you need is SB Touch (modded to Linear Power Supply), a good DAC, and DBPoweramp ($30) to create FLAC's from CD's. I have beed using the SB Classic for about 5 years. The original software version was a little problematic but the SB's guys hav... 
Memory playback worse than disk... Why?
FLAC is not a bad format. It's just 1's and 0's. It's how you read those 1's and 0's and pass them to your speakers that is the culprit. 
Thiel 3.7
I have had the Bryston 4BST (similar to 7bST) and BP25. The old Bryston is harder on the top end than then newer ones. I now have the 7B-SST with a BAT VK-42SE pre.I find the SST line much more enjoyable, I never was a huge fan of BP25 pre, which ...
