Does a Class D amp match well with Thiel Speakers?


I am considering purchasing either the the Thiel 2.4 or 3.7 Speakers. Definitely, I would appreciate the feedback.

To MAPMAN: AMEN brother. You called it like it is. Thanks for saying it. Wish I had thought to say it. Couldn't have been stated any better.
IMHO class D is not the way to go with Theil speakers. Have any of you folks with Thiels or any other speakers that need lots of clean power and will play down to 1 ohm heard the Sanders Sound Systems class AB Magtech amp. The Magtech amp can be auditioned free for 30 days. Check out the Magtech at www.SandersSoundSystems.com. Also check out the review on the Magtech amp in Feb 2011 issue 210 of the Absolute Sound. I personally feel that you could spend 5 or 6 times the price of the Magtech price and not get any improvement in sound. The Magtech plays the music as is with no colorations. It is a real sleeper.
In response to Mapman's thread. He is correct that most powerful amps are big, heavy, run hot as Hades, but the Magtech only weighs 55 lbs and idles at I believe 12 watts. It runs cool and designed to be left on all the time if you desire. I had a McIntosh MC-402 before I purchased the Magtech. I was a little skeptical about this amp, but the Magtech has a 30 days free trial period and after I listened to it, the Mac went up for sale. I just can't understand why someone that needs a highpowered amp that is reasonably priced would not opt to try the Magtech. It want cost you a dime to try it for 30 days. Before some of you folks jump on me for touting this amp, NO, I have no business interest with Sanders Sound Systems. I am just a very happy customer who believes that it is a fantastic amp with a real world price and a lifetime warranty. I am driving a pair of Duntech Sovereign speakers and they have never sounded better. Just my 2 cents worth. Happy listening fellow audiophiles.
Anybody understand what Dob is talking about??? Doesn't make much sense to me what he is saying. Well, to each his own as Elmer said when he kissed the cow goodnight.
