I had Thiel 3.6 speakers that worked really well with an Audio Research VT-100. you may want to consider the ARC integrated although more than 50 watts really would be best.
Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success?
I did a preliminary search of threads but did not find much of anything with regards to this specific question.
I have the CS-3.6's and love them very much. My listening habits have changed lately and want to try a tubed integrated for a while before jumping into the big $ tube amps. My room is 16x23x8 and is fairly well treated. I don't listen to high volumes anymore so huge power is not needed like it was with my Krell MDA-500 mono's. Seriously, the volumes are kept very low now and really want to try out some tube power for the glory of harmonics and richness.
I have been looking at the following integrated tube amps all in the 50 watt range:
Jolida SB-302b
Manley Stingray
C-J CAV-50
Rogue Tempest
Any experience with this type of combo is appreciated, and other choices for integrated amp is welcome.
