The Audio research D-110 is a solidstate unit. These early solistate units tend to sound bright. They would definitely not be my choice for an Audio Research amp. Audio Research is known for their tube gear. Just about any of the tube amps are going to sound a lot better. Take the Classic 60, that is an excellent sounding amp that can be picked up for a very good price.

I would do a search of peoples systems for Thiel. See what other people are using to drive them. There is also a Thiel tread, you can ask for suggestions. jafant is a nice guy and I am sure he can help. You want to find an amp that is a good match for your speakers. System synergy is very important. |
