Thiel Owners

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. 

Happy Listening!

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.

hi Tom,    i meant the audio show was noisy, especially the AV rooms.   no problem with my wonderful 3.7's.   Thanks.

Hi Duramax,  i think as long as the amp is capable of a lot of current,  any good high powered SS amp will work.   The Coda is really great and  the only amp that i would consider to replace the Coda would be the new  (not yet available BAT REX 300) .  The BAT is a great preamp and was the end of a preamp search (i think the preamp is much more important than the amp in many ways).  It was the PS BHK preamp,  then the Pass XP22, then the Coda .07 and finally the BAT.

3rd Note;

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

Happy Listening!

FWIW, except for some of the PS Audio gear which aren’t pure tube products and as evidenced in the footnote during independent testing struggled with sub 4 Ohm loads, none of the forementioned tube products are actually spec’d to deal with the forementioned Thiel loudspeakers actual impedance load. We could do this again with also previously attested to ss amp, but as ss amps are much more likely to be able to produce the current needed to double power output with halving  of impedance (which also decreases the spec’d speaker sensisitvity by 3 dB for each halving) unlike most typical tube amps which do not.
