Better amplification for Thiel CS 1.5

If your looking for an integrated amp, I would look for a used Classe. They mate well with Thiels and can be had used for about $1000. The more power the better with Thiels.

That is the direction I am leaning towards, the Thiels are 4 ohm speakers and handle 150 watts. I have been doing some research and it sounds like they can handle more than 150 watts. If I get too much power for them, am I in danger of damaging my speakers?

I use to own a pair of 1.5's. I originally set them up with a classe CAP-80 (100 watts integrated amp) I also used MIT cables which are recommended with Thiels. Back then I had an old Theta Data Basic transport with a Classe DAC-1. That was my first high end system and it sounded great!

In retrospect I'd probably use a Classe 201 and try to find something like an Audio Research LS-15 (Tube pre-amp) I believe this combo would give you some great sound from your Thiels, and at a very reasonable price.

I'll have to do some research, thanks for the leads.
