OP
I have been driving my CS 2.3 using: Pass XP-22 > Pass X-250.8 with absolutely wonderful results. I upgraded my electronics last year and these Thiels have never sounded so good in the 20 yrs I have owned them. Phenomenal bass control with great imaging and soundstage. Not bright at all with the Pass electronics. They are good speakers if you have an amp capable of driving them with authority. The Pass X-350.8 would also be a great match.
