| Thiel Owners dancastagna - have you tried the PS Audio M-700s on any of your bigger Thiels? Would you recommend these as primary amps for our hard-to-drive Thiels? Your HT setup sounds amazing btw, is it posted in the systems section? And +1 on the amp list... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel - thanks for the Benchmark link (a few pages ago), that was a very helpful piece of education for me. Has anyone tried the AHB2 with their Thiels? Based on the literature this one has moved to the top of my list, if I can't find a gre... | |
| Thiel Owners Missed out on the BAT VK-500, but now seeing Cary 500mb for similar price. Specs/reviews that I have found are extremely favorable BUT don't indicate the ability to drive a 2 ohm load, which makes me assume they will not stand up well for the CS ... | |
| Thiel Owners Wow, this is a long silence, did I say something wrong? | |
| Thiel Owners Time for decisions to be made - currently on the secondary market these three ss amps are for sale: BAT VK-500 w/ BAT PAC; Classe CA 301; and Sunfire 300. All seem capable of driving my CS 2.3s. Cost of the Sunfire is about half as much as the... | |
| Thiel Owners Continued thanks for all the help, here’s another possibility, Sunfire 300, recently serviced and recapped. Not thrilled about build quality or age but based on specs and reviews this should do well? Not looking for an end state by any means, ju... | |
| Thiel Owners Considering a Classe CAV-150 for my CS 2.3s. Can't find a pro/definitive review with measurements, but based on everything I have read, this should be a good match, esp with my goal of cleaner treble and a bit more body in the mids. Not thrilled... | |
| PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3? JohnnyR - i believe you are correct re the 4 vs 8 ohm tap on the Rogue. Shame on me for not asking, I went into the shop 45 min before closing on a Saturday, no excuse for the sales guy but I get it. Guess I need to go back for another listen, o... | |
| PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3? Assume the CAV-150 would be even better, as it is 6 x 150 with bridging ability? | |
| PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3? In terms of an amp, assume this would perform much better with the Thiels?https://www.stereophile.com/content/class233-ca-200-stereo-power-amplifier-measurements | |
| PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3? Here's what I am using right now - https://www.stereophile.com/content/krell-kav-400xi-integrated-amplifier-measurementsI am not using the preamp, to my ear, using the HTR bypass and the volume control on my DAC sounds better. Like I mentioned, I... | |
| PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3? Found a set of CS 2.3s in the Audio Solutions store in Indy, they were nice enough to hook them up to a PrimaLuna Dailogue Premium HP Integrated and the sound was great, very much what I am looking for. Based on this listen, I think the Dialogue ... | |
| Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years. +1 for Magnepans and Thiels, pre-owned CS-2.3s, CS6, CS-2.4s all fit in your budget. | |
| PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3? Yes indeed, have done some reading and you are right Al, it looks like other tube amps would be a better match, particularly Rogue or CJ. To me it looks like the Rogue Stereo 100 would be a great match, one positive review was done using CS 2.4s,... |
