Best amp for Thiel 3.6 speakers?

I had good luck with a Bryston 4B and MIT 750 speaker cables. The sound appeared to be a bit bright but was very dependent on the preamp and source. I eventually wound up with a Classe DR6 preamp, Linn turntable, and Goldmund transport and DAC. Good recordings were fabulous but bad recordings were fully exposed and not enjoyable.

Great speakers, I'm driving mine with a classe ca200, cj preamp, kimber wire - kcag, waiting on some kctg and 8tc. classe offers plenty of power, will drive the thiels as loud as i want to go with no congestion or brightness. One of the previous posters is correct Thiels are not bright the electronics behind them usually are, my system is still on the warm side even with silver ic's. Room placement is critical, they sound best when away from all walls. enjoy...

I started out driving mine with an older Aragon 4004 Mk II. They sounded very good but all the majic was not there. Now using Bryston 7B's in High Current mode - Fantastic!!! I also recommend Classe 301 and up.

I've had great success with the older Krell line / the KSA and MDA series. The least powerful is the KSA-150 and the most powerful & mighty MDA-500 mono blocks. I have all 3 of these rotating in my system which was built around the CS-3.6's...Try a KSA-150 (plenty of power/150-300-600-1200 @ 1 ohm) first with MIT MH-750 cables. Both used would run about $2k to $2.5k and you can purchase a second KSA-150 at a later date and have them converted over to the admirable MDA-300 mono blocks if more power is needed, ie. large room or Stupid Approved listening levels. Thiel even used the MDA series during the design back in the early 90's.

I beleive the Thiel recommends using CLasse with their speakers. I've never heard it but thiel reccommends it and everyone who tries it loves it. I hope this helps.
