Jim Thiel mostly used Threshold S500, then Krell FPB600 when designing his speakers.
Amp recommendation to drive Thiel 3.6 speakers
Hello everyone,
My first post here. I''l get right to the point.
I am looking for recommendations for suitable power amp monoblocks to drive a pair of Thiel 3.6 that I have had for 20 years, and which I intend to keep. Let me describe my current system.
Speakers: Thiel; 3.6
Power amps: Manley 250 classic monoblocks (tube)
Pre-amp: Audio Research Reference (tube)
Phono-pre: Audio Research Reference 2 SE (tube)
Turntable: VPI/SME, and Linn LP12
Digital: Audio Research CD3
I am looking for recommendations to replace the Manleys. From what I know, the Thiels are a difficult load.
Thanks in advance

Well if he liked Threshold you guys should consider the amp I just bought, the CODA #8 for my CS3.7's. It has 600 to 1200 watts continuously at 2 Ohm considering the version purchased (V1, V2, or V3). The CODA guys came from Threshold. I put my KRELL K-300i integrated on the CS3.7's and they also were great. Tons of bass and a huge sound. |
I’ll bet The Crown Drive Corps would do the job. 440 @ 8 ohm 770 @4 ohm, 1200 @ 2 ohm. Without breaking a sweat. |
