An amp to drive Thiel CS3.7's?
A friend drives his with Parasound JC-1's and it seems a great match to me. 
KIND OF BLUE

Survey:What Speakers Do You Want To Demo in Store?
KEF, Harbeth, Revel, Vivid, Joseph Audio, Vandersteen, Audiokinesis, Daedalus, Aerial, Paradigm or PSB. If you had all of those lines, I'd fly in and stay for a few days.

Does anyone like country

Thanks for posting that, Notec. I feel the same way. Also dislike passed away or the more dreadful passed. 
Will there be a next gen. Lyra Dorian?

Recapturing the JBL L100 Century
I was fortunate back in the 70s, had a decent job. This allowed me to buy a pair of brand new JBL L-65 Jubals, MUCH better speakers than the L-100s. I drove those with a Marantz 2270 receiver and had a Dual 1249 turntable with a Shure V-15 Type IV...
