Re: Amps for Thiel 2.3's


Am considering the McCormack .5 or DNA-1; or alternatively the Aragon 4004mkII or 8008BB. Anyone with suggestions? (perhaps the more expensive units are not essential?)

Best amp's on Thiel I've heard are ARC and from my experience they have to be used with TUBES not SS otherwise they will sound bright......ARC VT-100MKII will do the trick
Try classe CA-200 or CA-300. Will tame the top end, and you will get a great soundstage with the ability to go LOUD if you need it.
Counterpoint SA12 is an excellent match. You can find used gear from www.altavistaaudio.com. You can even upgrade from Michael Elliott for even better sound to Natural Progression series. Good luck.
Someone told to try the 2.3s with the very matching Mark Levinson 331. Did that. Synergistic match if u ask me. Had to let it go after an irrestible offer to upgrade to the CS7. Enjoy!
