RE: I Really Like Speakers

Posted by John Elison on June 29, 2020 at 05:35:03:
When you find an extremely natural and transparent speaker system, it becomes less important to listen to other speakers. I achieved that goal after buying a pair of Thiel CS3.7 speakers in September 2012. These Thiel's sounded better and better each time I played them for the first year-and-a-half. After that, they sounded excellent all the time.

I did get the itch for a change, though, so I decided to buy a new power amplifier. I was using a Parasound Halo A21 that I bought when I bought the Thiel's and it sounded very good with what I thought was sufficient power. Nevertheless, I felt it still might be the weakest link in my system so I bought a new pair of PS Audio Stellar M1200 Monoblocks. That did the trick. My system sounds better than ever. I was never actually dissatisfied, but I'm now more satisfied than ever before. I think these new monoblocks with their 1200-watts of power should keep me happy for many years to come. ;-)

Best regards,
John Elison
