Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers
pyma6 OPGood choice for these speakers, have the JC1’s in high Class-A bias mode at your initiation listen. And your PH3 has 71db!! of gain, so you could combined with the JC1’s very high gain and 100kohm input impedance, use a just a simple Passive Pre amp, as you have all the gain you’ll need even from the PH3 let alone even more from digital sources.

pyma6 OP Look what I posted about that above your post And they all need doing now because of the age they are, instead of being viscose it turns to tar and causes linear distortion and heat, and if left too long, say good by to the tweeter one day. Cheers George |
Pym OPMost women I know like that 1910-1935 "Art Deco" look, especially the fashion of that time. https://ibb.co/CQ84bxf https://img.theculturetrip.com/768x432/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/usk-06620r1-e1479902480125.jpg Cheers George |
pyma6 Great speaker if driven well. Could do with the tweeters old ferro fluid replacement by now, then the highs will sing again, look for posts I did on how to do this yourself. Here’s one. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1843203?highlight=ferro%2Bfluid At 86db you need at least >150w-8ohm that can "almost" double that wattage to 4ohm and again 2ohms. And with this kind of load 3ohm, dipping to 2.3ohms you need an amp that won’t care seeing a continuous 2.5ohm load. Stereophile’s test results: Cheers George |
