| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie OK, I've just purchased a Bryston 4B SST (300w) amp. So, after the Thiel 3.6s, this is my second piece. Question now is, what do you recommend for a good (yet not expensive) pre-amp? I've seen some with separate power type modules under them. Is s... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie And wouldn't you love to be the engineer that puts that together? I think I'll put this sound ... here. | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie After going around on this issue, I’ve settled into simply the two-speaker solution, and going for quality. The initial interest in the more channeled amp was to be able to port separate music into my home office. So yes, only the Thiels, left and... | |

| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Thanks Tis,That's sort of what I was guessing. I appreciate the clarity. In this setup, you're talking about a unit like this, right? Where channels one and two stand alone, and the occasional DVD use goes through for full set of speaker usage. Bu... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie I've re-read these posts again several times. Thanks all. I'm getting a very good (well, better) understanding. And tis49, I am focused on your solution as what I really need, and think I misunderstood it. I think your best setup would be to get a... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Thanks all. So I’m focusing on a good, current or vintage two channel amp. (Used, lower price and I’ll take my chance on repair need.) There are several choices including the great ones you’ve all suggested here. Current focus for this purpose is ... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie And georgelofi, I've just re-read your graph from the third post at the top. And I understand it now. Wow, these things are like under 4 ohms almost the whole listening frequency! FWIW, I spoke with someone at Theta today who felt that the decisio... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Thanks all! I'm getting a great understanding of all of this! And for that, I'm very grateful. And thanks, Tis, I was wondering about that 6 ohm (not 4, or even 2) 10% THD. I'm curious for your thoughts on this: One of the possibilities is to use ... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie And if I may re-ask the question, Might that Denon AVR-x7200 unit be an acceptable start to this system (with the 3.6s)? And might that be used as a pre-amp or controller to a future upgrade where a more powerful amp is connected in line later? If... | |
| Recommended amp for Thiel 3.6 -- newbie Thanks much George. I had seen that page, and frankly, don't completely understand it. (And I'm a graph info type of guy.) What I got out of that piece was that the 3.6s tend to operate at pretty low ohms. And that consistent draw on low ohms woul... | |
| Best affordable amp for Thiel CS3.6 Hi Tom and others. I've read this post with much interest. And although I see it's old, on the outside chance that there is email notifications on new posts, I put this here as well.I've just posted a question that refreshes all of this discussion... |
