I have a Coda CSib V1 driving Thiel CS 2.4 speakers. Have had the amp in my system for something over 3.5 years now. Replaced a Bryston 3Bst/BP20 combo. A definite upgrade from the 20 year old but still quite competent Bryston kit in every way. I wouldn’t describe the sound as dry. As from a presentation perspective brought some much needed warmth to my rig which I attribute to that class A envelope. Also purchased from the very gentlemanly Mike Kay at Audio Archon. The CSib is pretty much a Coda 8 with a built in line stage, and for me is most likely an endgame piece.
