Thiel 2.3 amplification

Whats your budget like? As you seem to be looking into both power and intergrated amps, are you decided on a pre-amp should you go with a power amp? What's the rest of your system like? What's your room like? What volume levels are you seeking? What are your musical preferences. Do you have particular sonic qualities that are of particular importance to you?

Bunkeromantik, I'm assuming you mean $3K for both pre and power amp or an integrated. Due to the impedance load presented by the Thiels, integrated choices will be limited. At that price point, I like the the big c-j solid state power amps with either a tube or solid state c-j pre (move up to something above a PV-10). I haven't heard them, but the Plinius stuff appears interesting. Think, smooth, neutral and gutsy.
