Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300 with Thiel CS3.6?


After talking to a few people and reading to many posts and reviews I think I have decided not to go with a Bryston or Rotel Amp to drive my Thiel CS3.6 speakers. I know there are a lot of other choices but I have sort of settled on the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300 integrated amp over a Conrad Johnson MF-2500A / Premier 17LS paring. I am hoping to get the Tri-Vista used for around $4200 which is about the same cost as the Conrad Johnson pair would probably be. Nothing I have read has given me any indication that the Tri-Vista is a better match than the Conrad Johnson so maybe I am succumbing to the hype and taking the easy route of a single piece (no interconnects etc). Who knows?

Any additional feedback on my choices or opinions would be greatly appreciated before I take the plunge. I still feel like a blind man on a pitch black night listening to murmers in the distance :)

I bought my Thiel CS2.4's from a dealer that also sells MF gear. As a matter of fact I demoed the Thiels with a MF setup. It sounded great, very musical and not at all harsh. I am curious why Bryston is no longer on your agenda as I have heard good things about the SST's and Thiel speakers (I will home audition a 4BSST soon). I am also considering a Theta Dreadnaught II and Musical Fidelity mono-blocks.

Good luck
