Thiel CS3.6 and Aragon 8008BB combo?


Not too long ago I created a thread asking what amp would best drive Thiel CS3.6's for on an extreme budget. One of the amps suggested was the Aragon 8002. Well, I am in the process of purchasing an Aragon 8008BB.

Do any of you have experience with this pairing?

Is the amp too bright for the speakers?

Will the Aragon be able to handle this tough a load?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I drove my CS3.6's with an 8008BB for nine years, and although it did a good job, I found that the sound was not as refined as it could have been. Four years ago, I replaced it with a pair of Rowland 201 monoblocks, which made a significant improvement.

I think you'll find that the Aragon will give you good service and drive your Thiels for as long as you own it. It is good value; improving on it will cost you significantly more money.

Good luck, and happy listening!
