You’ll need amplification capable of a minimum of 400 Watts per channel into 2 Ohms, and depending on room size and desired volume levels, you’ll probably be better of with at least double that. Slim pickings when it comes to intergrateds with such capabilities.
Best Integrated Amp for Thiel CS 2.4 Speakers
I bought a pair of speakers 15 years ago and the Accurus DIA 100 amp I had started popping (and wasn't that great anyway). I put the whole thing in storage. Now I want to buy a new (or demo) integrated amp. I am not opposed to pre-amp but that makes it that much more challenging. I am willing to spend about $4K plus cables. I listen to the usual - 70's rock, lots of instrumental, trip hop. I do need solid low bass. I barely used the speakers, I don't want to sell them. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I haven't heard it but the Technics SUG-700 integrated (based on GaN tech) might be awesome and for a lot less than your budget https://www.technics.com/us/products/grand-class/g700-series/su-g700.html |
I own a pair of Thiel 2.4s. I don’t think they need as much power as stated above but I run them currently on 450 watts lol. But really they don’t. I have run them on a few different amps (McIntosh MC462 at the moment) and they were fine off 100 watts. I would just stay way from bright equipment as the thiels lean toward brightness depending on the room. I did not care for them on class-D amps. Too cold and sterile for me. Don’t forget to play with toe in. They were designed to use very little toe in but i find the center image suffers that way. I would toe them in just enough for the center image to fill and stop there. |
