I know it's a little bit off topic but I have to sneak-in my two cents. I do not belive Mac power amps match well with Thiels. I have CS2.3 myself and tried to power it up with MA 6900 then MA 402 and MA 252 power amps from MAC. I really loved Mac looks and special feeling it gave me but sound-wise I always knew there was something wrong. To make long story short - I was convinced by a fellow A-goner to try SIM W5 power amp. Now we are talking. Absoloutly no comparition. Mac was beaten and left bleeding asking for mercy. Oh how I am glad I had tried W5. It exells in bass control, weight and timing, has marvolous mids with harmonics that are die-for and top end that while never aggressive tells like it is. I am so much happy with SIM that I want to share it with others. Go figure for yourself. You will find Mac then as dull, boring, with obscured detail and wooly bass.
