The 2.3s do seem to like a lot of good quality power. I have used the following amps with my 2.3s in our rather small 12X15 living room, Aragon 8008 ST, Krell KST 100, McIntosh MC2205. All three sounded good, but the Aragon and the Krell sound a great deal better. The McIntosh did do a better job taming the top end. Of the two I would give a slight edge to the Aragon, but really a toss up. I am curious what amps have you tried and what did you settle on?
Thiel 2.3's Power Hungry??
Every time I add more POWER to these they sound a little better. They open up and sound smoother. Has anyone had the same experience? How much power has any one thrown at the speakers untill you were satisfied?
