Had a NAD 218 (200 W/PC) with Thiel 2.3's. Loved the speakers but they could not handle the amp-fried the crossovers). Strongly suggest Classe and nothing else. I like volume and the Thiel's can not handle and Thiel is not very accomodating when asked about loud volumes with their speakers (and I'm not talking excessive volume either). Went to B&W 802 Matrix but still have fond memory of Thiel sound...only wish they could handle the volume and that Thiel was more customer-friendly. M
