Thiel 7.2: amps suggestions please
Thanks for your advice Pathos; now I'm driving Thiels with the Pass X600, great combo: dynamics, speed, accuracy, a liquid midrange and no grainy highs... but im my room the Avalon Radians work better... btw, in a few months I'll change my address...

Deshapiro, sorry for the non related question but I'm curious about the sound of the Avalon Osiris: if I well remember you had a pair of these, right ? Why you decided to sell such beautiful speakers ? I have a pair of Radian hc now and I couldn't...

Thanks again. There are different versions of the V's ? When J. Dunlavy released the latest version of these speakers, do you know (previously I simply read the specs and date of release on the Agon bluebook) ? 
Opinions on Dunlavy SC IVA , V , VI...

Now i have the pass X600: great amps, a little on the dry side but with my valve preamp the sound is good, fast and musical. Therefore I decided to sell my Thiels because they don't fit well my huge room: sound is boomy with lots of resonances. 
Avalon: are new models quite better than older ?
Sirspeedy, thanks for your 2nd post, i'm really glad with my Radians now... but it seems so difficult to explain to other audiogoners that a new project (read: Eidolon) not necessary is better than a previous one (read: Ascents or Radians). Cheers... 
Pass labs X600
The X600's are great amps, their sound is fast, timbrically correct, a bit on the dry side but depends on your gear and, yes, a real bargain on the used market... They sound not like a 600 watts monster with enflated muscles but like a superfast 1... 
Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line

Nothing to add but now I'm powering the Radians with the Pass X600 and I couldn't be more happy ! The sound is fast fast fast, dynamic and so musical... Do not underestimate the older Avalon guys, they are still incredible great speakers, trust me.

Listen with your ears, then decide which amp is for you. Cheers.

Avalon: are new models quite better than older ?
Just returned from the Italian Top Audio & Video Show, I've listen to Opus and Opus ceramic: yes, the bass is fast and really articulate... Faster than the previous Radians and Ascents ? I don't know. However I've noticed a very little differe...
