An amp to drive Thiel CS3.7's?
Looking for a good SS amp for my very difficult to drive Thiel 3.7s. I think a good dual mono could do the job. I was thinking Ayre V-5XE, MarkLevinson532H, ClasseCA2300, Bryston4BSST2. The ML is a bit expensive and would probably be stretching my budget. Anybody have experience with the Thiel CS3.7? Any commendations in the 5-8k price range? The sound has to be very smooth and round. No aggressive stuff please.Thanks for the feedback.
I might also consider buying something pre-owned. A Krell 302E was offered to me near the price range I'm looking at but I have no idea if it would match my taste! Some recommendations also include Conrad Johnson 350A. This is all very confusing!

A friend of mine drives his 3.7's with a ARC Ref 110 tube amp and they sound fantastic with plenty of drive and bass. Plus he may sell the ARC due to downsizing. Honestly if I could afford the amp I would buy it in a heartbeat. One of the better sounding amps I have heard along with his Ref 3 preamp. |
I recommend asking your local dealer about the Burson timekeeper monoblocks, they have 80Wpc and 240wpc in bridged mode. They have a very smooth sound, not fatiguing or harsh. |
