Very nice System! A pair of Thiel loudspeakers will fit quite well. Keep me posted on your purchase decision.

Thank You for citing B.A.T. VK-600 & CS 2.4 loudspeakers. While I have not heard B.A.T. products, I can vouch for the Pass Labs X150.8 power amp and CS 2.4 speakers.

Nice points all around. Not every Audiophile can set-up the infrastructure for a Krell power amp. Some models require more planning than others. I look forward to meeting you in the future.

All -
as above, Thiel speakers (CS 1.6, CS 1.7, CS 2.4, CS 2.4SE, CS 2.7 and CS 3.7) match very well with Tube electronics. Both an Integrated Amp or Separates fit nicely. Regarding separates, a Tube pre-amp plus Solid state power amp is preferred to my ears.
Associated Brands- Aesthetix, Audio Research, B.A.T., Cary Audio, Conrad Johnson, P.S. Audio, and Rogue Audio. I can attest to this group for Integrated Amp(s) and Pre-Amps.

3rd Note;
Anthem ( I believe that is Class D). I can attest to this brand for Integrated, Pre and Power Amps.

2nd Note;
Associated Brands (Solid State)- AYRE Acoustics, Bryston LTD., and Pass Labs. I can attest to this group for Integrated, Pre and Power Amps.

Keep me posted on your purchase decision. OTOH, there are a few great Audio shops in the PNW where a sweet pair of Thiel loudspeakers could show up.

Can you talk about the presentation and sound after adding those Cardas .01uf capacitors? Feel free to cite your fave musical tracks that saw an improvement "upgrade".
Happy Listening!

All-
over on U.S. Audiomart there are (2) OEM CS 2.3 coaxial drivers avail. Located in HI from a former Thiel dealer/retailer. I hope this pair find the next good home.

Good to see you here today. Been a long time- I hope that you are well and still building those wonderful Racks-and-Stands. Thank You for the tip on SAE in Chicago.
What is your current System these days?

Right On! I have not spent time with the 3.6 speaker. I can certainly vouch for the CS 3.7 model. What are the dimensions of your room/space?

All-
Over on USADM there is a pair of CS 2.4SE in White Oak stain for sale. NC area.
I reached out to the owner to inquire about this color other than Vermillion Red.
I hope these loudspeakers find the next good home.
Happy Listening!

3rd Note,
The very nice owner reported that his pair are upgraded from stock to SE kit status.
These speakers are clean and well-cared condition by an Audiophile.

Good to see you here again. Stay tuned until one of our Power plane experts chimes in to address your query. We have a few fans/owners of the PP on The Panel.
What other gear are you planning for your retirement home? Feel free to post and save pics for a Virtual Systems page. That would be very educational.

Good to see you here again. I concur, the CJ Classic 60se is a very fine Amp to drive Thiel CS 1.6 or CS 1.7 loudspeakers. What gear and cabling is in your system currently? Nice space 20x20x8.
Happy Listening!

Nice reply from prof on your CS 2.7 v. CS 3.7 query. I will second, the CS 3.7 with more Bass output. Reason being the CS 3.7 commands a larger room, the owner can employ a larger Power Amp, achieving greater low end energy.
Happy Listening!

Nice "old" system. The good news is that Thiel speakers does respond well to Tubed gear (CJ, P.S. Audio, VAC and VTL) just to name a few. I am a big fan of the CJ CAV 45 control amp. I would like to see the S3 version with more current and power output. Great opportunity there. Let's see how CJ approaches the next version. Classe' is certainly a sonic match.
Now, to address your Wattage query. Anywhere from 50 to 300 watts will be sufficient. Much will depend on your room and volume preference. Keep me posted as you demo the Amps.

My pleasure. Keep me posted as you replace the 3.6 tweeter.
