coop_301 Another thing to consider is actual amplifier size and weight. I sold my BAT VK-500 because it was huge and weighed like 120lbs….and there was something too big about the sound and a bit rough on sibilance.    I could easily manage tha...

I don’t own all of these currently, just amps I have listened to in my system. The Ampzillas are in my system now. Once I get the right cabling for them, I think they are my final amp.  What amps are you all using with your Thiels?

If I recall Rob quoted me roughly $500 a driver repair wise.

Amps I have used with my CS6’s are: 1)Ampzilla 2000 mono blocks—very textured, excellent full frequency response, a touch hard on sibilance, these are my main amps 2) Yamaha P2250 mono blocked—pretty much the perfect amp for me thus far. Yamahas...

coop_301 I have a used pair of C6’s. Both my midranges buzz occasionally. Sometimes due to under amplification and sometimes just at certain passages rarely in certain songs. I’m certain I need new drivers. My pair cost $2,500 in 2019. Still, t...

I have a ModWright Oppo 105D. An excellent player. But I am only using the Oppo right now as disc player and sending digital output to an external DAC. The DAC quality is the most important thing. I’d get a universal player that can do hdmi out fo...

I’d try a used adcom gfa 555. It inherently has great midbass. And it’s 200watts.Give it a shot.😄

And the CS 1.2’s only go down to 52khz. Deep bass is not going to happen with those specs.

The Rega Brio is not enough power. I’d say minimum you need is 100watts into 8ohms that doubles to 200watts at 4ohms. Even that might not be enough.You will need a much more powerful amplifier.

Anyone have outriggers for CS6’s?😁
