mac and vac amps with thiel 3.6

I am almost certain to buy one of these two integrated tube products. If I cannot make them work with the speakers I will change the speakers. Anyone heard either combo with the 3.6.

Very helpful. I first heard the Thiels with ar hybrid amp and bought them. Afraid of tubes so bailed out to transistors and have listened to them with very expensive amps not to be impressed. Thanks for feedback on tubes.Have heard only the vac avatar not the latest super model with other speakers and loved the very "liquid" midrange. Please continue

i actually use a VAC auricle with Thiel 1.6s and love them. combination particularlly suits my smaller UK room (15'x25'). thiels seem to have a characteristic impedence dip, which one would think would be a problem for a tube amp, but the VAC seems to not take any notice. if this is the bottom of the VAC range, i would have no worries about other VAC models with Thiels.

Until recently upgrading, I used an Avatar SE with Thiel 2.3s. Wonderful combination, more relaxed than my current tube preamp/SS amp combination.
