Thiel 2.3 amplification


Hi
I am searching for decent amplification for my Thiels 2.3. Was considering following: Bryston 4BST or SST, Electrocompaniet ECI-4 integrated, McIntosh MA-6850, Musical Fiedelity A300 or newer A308 integr. Any suggestions? Preamps, IC's, cables. Do they really need Transparent cable?
thanks

i'm currently driving my 2.3s with plinius sa 100, CJ premier 17, and cary 303 - i find the tube pre amp and tube-like cary necessary to balance out the somewhat analytical thiels. i'm very happy with the SS amp / tube pre amp combo and listened to many amps in my search - found plinius to be the best match for my ears. people also like the classe with thiels, but in my opinion, the plinius does everything the classe does only better.
