John, Welcome.  Though I will not offer a specific amp amp, as I have not done the amp/1.6 evaluation in my test. I will say what is consistent across the producr line is big power and Class A, if it permits.  I have a preference for the variou...

ig316b, I aacpt your offer. What part of NC are you loctaed in?  I sent my amps out to be serviced so they should be back in a few weeks.  Having Steves amps on CS 7.2 I'm curious how the 7.2 will respond. This will be a fun session.

ig316b, Amberwood is a beautiful wood. Congrats on the CS6 as they are great speakers. They are easier to set up than their older siblings and share some of the same characteristics. Not as difficult to drive as CS5i or CS 7.2. Great find.  I ha...

devinplombier Indeed the CS5i are difficult to obtain. To find them in your region of the US and with shipping cartons becomes even more difficult.  They have plywood crates so cannot understand why owners would not have the crates other than th...

The amp reference was not intended to address the dip in highs. It was to merely to poin=t out you can extract more from the big Thiels with the right amps. Big clean Class A for sure.  In my setup I have them about 10' apart,  3' from back wall ...

mchan888,   Congrats on obtaining a pair of CS 7.2 speakers. ' I'm right there with Tom that something is going on as the CS 7.2 has ample extension in the higher frequencies.  Placement will be slightly different than your CS 3.6.  This was ... 
Thiel CS7.2
I asked as I dont know any person owning these speakers that would ever consider shipping them.  For CS5 make sure your get the CS5i as bass drivers and xovers were improved.

When the time presents itself i will post link to site I have the big Thiels going throuigh a workout.  I'll start with the CS 7.2 since they are in room with their new plinths.  Next will be the CS5i as I still need to manufacture a plinth for ...

timm1951 Krell FPB 300cx. Pleaase note I was referring to bottom end between the two. The FPB series are a great pairing with the Thiels especially the hard to drive Thiels.  In a perfect world bi amp the Thiels with the MDA on bottom and the FP...
