Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions
I guess I just second the recommendations for the smaller thiels. Didn't read the all of the posts. I apologize for my redundancy. 
Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions
why don't you try a smaller pair of thiels...they'll have the same sound and perhaps your GF will be happier with the smaller footprint. The cs1.6 and the older cs1.5 are a lot smaller...at least height wise. They have all the virtues of monitors ... 
recomending power to speakers
Speaking to Thiel they said that they mostly use Krell amps in their listening rooms. I know Krell is known for treble sizzle and a analytical sound...so it wouldn't be the first choice in my book. A better balance might be a sonic frontiers tube ... 
solution for "popping sound" from tube amp?
I am going with the Mullard CV4024 after it was recommended to me by Chris Johonson at Parts Connexion. I'll let you guys know how it sounds.

Hello, I too have the same problem with my SFL-1 and I believe that I need to replace the tube as well. What would you guys recommend as a warm tube to tame my occasionally bright system? I am using a mosfet ss amp and smallish Thiel loudspeakers.... 
SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr?
I'm sorry, I did mean the st-140. The cs 1.5 load does not dip past 3 ohms according to someone I spoke with at thiel.

The bk st-180 has a lot of happy users and can be found pretty cheap. Right now I don't have the budget for a nice cj tube or nice krell. Any other suggestions? I really do appreciate it.

What is the most INEXPENSIVE amp you guy could warmly recommend for the thiel cs 1.5?By inexpensive I mean under $500 used.

How do you like your D53 Audio Research amp? I am considering buying one and I would be curious to know your impressions.
