Thiel 3.6s with MacIntosh Amplifier?


Would like to know if anyone has had some past experience
using one of the later model MacIntosh Amps with Thiel 3.6
speakers.
I am looking to upgrade my current Thiel 3.5s to Thiel
3.6s and know that my current amp - an Adcom - will
probably not match well with the larger Thiels. I already
have a Mac Preamp - a C-15 which I love - and am considering
moving up to a Mac MC 300 Amp.
Any feedback would be most appreciated.

I'm have been driving my Thiels 3.6's with a McIntosh MC300 for the past four yrs and have no complaints. The Mc doesn't have the bottom end that some of the other amps do but I love the sweet top that the Mc gives. I have recently started to consider changing amps and suditioned some Aragon Paladiums. These really had a punch and I they gave more detail to the midrange but after hooking my Mc back in i was still happy with what I had. Classe is also a good amp to consider. I have heard the CA300 hooked up to a pr of Thiels 2.2 and it rocks. I hope to spend some time with it hooked to my 3.6's. Just dont overlook interconnects. I have Cardas Golden Cross running thru mine and it mad a difference. My overall sound is a little laid back but it works for my room. You got a great set of speakers, enjoy and experiment with some different amp. No matter what you choose there willbe a little give and take. HAVE FUN!!
