Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?


I currently use a Classe Delta 2200 and a Conrad-Johnson CT5 preamp. I'm considering a jump to a tube amp. 80-100 kohm input impedance would be nice and I'd prefer only input from those who've heard Thiels driven with tubes...Thiels are hungry for High quality power. I have a moderate sized room (21 wide by 15 long). Let me hear your advice.

I recently purchased CS3.6 and play quite nicely with my ASL Hurricane monoblocks. They put out 200w/ch in pentode mode. I'm able to achieve pretty high volume levels with no clipping and my room is about 17' x 19'. Sound treatment and placement are key and I find the Thiels are very sensitive to toe in and side wall reflections. You might want to consider the ASLs which are pretty highly regarded and provide a very good # tube watts/buck. Good luck!
