Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ?


I currently use a Classe Delta 2200 and a Conrad-Johnson CT5 preamp. I'm considering a jump to a tube amp. 80-100 kohm input impedance would be nice and I'd prefer only input from those who've heard Thiels driven with tubes...Thiels are hungry for High quality power. I have a moderate sized room (21 wide by 15 long). Let me hear your advice.

A few years ago I used a VAC 100 watt per channel stereo amp to drive Thiel CS2.4s  This combination worked well in a small room, but in my larger room (16’ x 23’) the 2.4s performed better with my Ayre VX 5/20 amp.  VAC Renaissance preamp was employed in both settings.  

I’ve tried many very high end SS integrated on my 3.7 and as powerful SS can be they never have the musicality of tube amps.

Since I live not very far from the Jadis factory I will try to borrow a Jadis DA88S integrated to make a shootout against my Vitus SIA- 025.

IMHO, either the PS Audio M1200s (see Michael Fremers review) or something like the LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp (modified by Tweak Audio) might just be the bees knees

Well guys, the Jadis DA88S with 8 KT120s in PP class A beat my Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 on my CS 3.7s.

Jadis sounds like real live music with lots of meat on the bone.

Jadis Monos would be fantastic on Thiel speakers.
