I’m looking at possibly getting one if it’s compatible with my thiel cs 3.6. How is the sound and can it handle the thiels that basically live in the 2.5 ohm area in a major portion of its frequency?

My mistake I thought it was a tube amp. 
I agree if it’s bright stay AWAY. been there done that. 
Well this isn’t a direct answer, but I use a ARC Classic 60 to run my Thiel CS 2.4’s with ease, I use the 4 ohm tap and it sound great.

I know the 3.6’s are notoriously difficult to drive, but ARC gear just works on mine.

be warned, you may need to replace the large caps at the very least.  I used KEMET power filter caps, high quality but $50 a cap for my unit. Also you need to be comfortable biasing the amp if it doesn’t self bias, or send it to match.
