@arvincastroWhat linestage did you end up with? I'm looking at Aesthetix and Audio Research for the same reasons as you stated.@thielrulesI'm in Seattle and have a pair of 2.7's that I'd be willing to submit to testing. 
Aesthetix Calypso Signature to Eclipse
@ejholtom Did you get your Aesthetix piece upgraded?  What were you using before you picked up the Aesthetix? I'm looking to add a tube pre to my setup and Aesthetix is at the top of the list.  Currently I'm using a MSB Analog as DAC/pre.

@arvincastro regarding Class D amps - I have a pair of the Bel Canto REF600M monos.  My initial impression driving either 2.7's or 3.6's wasn't favorable and I believe this was due to a poor match with other associated components.  At the time eve...

Regarding the differences between the 2.3 and 2.4.I would really like to put the 2.3 next to the 2.4 next to the 2.7 and listen to the difference.  I have 1.6, 2.7, and 3.6 and enjoy them all immensely however have not had the opportunity to hear ...

If anyone is interested there are a pair of 2.2's in black at Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle.  One of the woofers shows evidence of re-gluing the surround.  The passive radiators show signs of delamination as well.

ovinewarI went from a Bryston 3B ST to a pair of 7B ST's.  The difference was night and day and the 3B is no slouch.  I'm running the 7B in parallel mode driving a pair of 2.7's.hth

@arvincastroRegarding Class D amps - I have a pair of the Bel Canto REF600M's.  I've tried them on my 3.6's and 2.7's.  I didn't care for them when compared to the Krell TAS (3.6's) and Bryston 7BST parallel mode (2.7's).  I've since changed cable...

@batmanfanRegarding the pre/pro I've been running a Mytek Brooklyn+ providing signal to a pair of Bryston 7BST monoblocks which are powering a pair of 2.7's.Mainly classical and jazz with a fair bit of rock.The Mytek can convert DSD,DXD,MQA, etc e...

Another vote for the Bryston 7B ST monos with Thiels.I have recently acquired a pair of the last design of the 7BST before they released the SST series.They are running in parallel mode driving a pair of 2.7's with excellent results. 
Help choosing an amp for Thiel 2.7s
A little late to this thread.I picked up a pair of the Bryston 7BST amps and am running them in parallel mode to drive a pair of 2.7's with excellent results.  Previously I was using a Bryston 3B NRB and the difference between that and the 7B mono... 
Mark Levinson 333.5 vs Emotiva XPR-1 Monoblocks
@levchappy what did you end up doing?  I'm looking at amps for my 3.6's as well.  Currently I am using a Krell TAS in stereo mode.
