After many amps, I ended up with the Krells for my Thiels. I have however heard the thiels with the Mcintosh 1201s, and if or when I decide to change they are the front-runners. The VTL tubed monoblocks are very good with 3.6s.(heard them once) Also all three Ayre amps I have heard (with the 2.4 and 7.2) were very nice. (V-5xe, V-1XE, MX-r) Lots of choices, all good, but the Krell and Macs have been my favorites.
Driving Mrs. 3.6
Hey all,
I'll be looking into driving my Thiel 3.6's come January or soon after, need more power. My question is to you Thiel owners out there. What & why are you driving your rigs with (amps). I'm looking for a step up, listen mostly to rock & jazz so Bass slam a must. I'm currently using the Levinson 331, and am currently considering upgrading to a 333, 334,335, or THe Pass labs x350.5 or is that 350.5. However all posts are invited and much depth into why you choose your amp to run the 3.6's as I could the advice. Here's my rig, Note that my cables are all temporary and well be upgraded after choosing an amp:
Meridian 508 (24 bit)> cardas cross or HT pro silway(rca)> Levinson 38S > cardas cross (rca)> levinson 331> HT pro 11> Thiel 3.6. THANX
