I recently down graded my bedroom set up and had excellent results. I was using my Thiels with a tube pre (Melos), a pair of monoblocks (HK775) and the thiel bass eq. Now, I am using a b&o receiver without the thiel bass eq and it sounds great. The Thiels really open up with that old solid state power and there is no need for the factory eq. I couldnt be happier with this set up, not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, I can finally remove that god awful bookshelf stereo I use for a radio. The rack is temporary, I am waiting to get my dresser out of storage. The rundown:
Bang & Olufsen Beomaster 6000 70wpc
Onkyo DVD
Thiel CS2
