| Tubes vs Solid State If those 802 d's and 800 diamonds are the B&W's I think they are, then you're probably going to regret going from ss to tubes. | |
| Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's Jim Thiel wasn't fond of Class D amps with anything but sub woofers. But, thing have been moving fast since Jim passed. I might get a chance to hear a Wyred 4 Sound amp on Thiels soon. I'm encouraged by the reviews, I do hope Class D can make runn... | |
| Tube Preamp/solid pwr amp or solid pre/ tube pwr Once again Al nailed it. Choose the amp that best works with your speakers, with B&W's it's usually ss. | |
| McCormack DNA-125 with Thiel 2.4. Good idea? The Odyssey amps might be nice, but perhaps not the best choice for the Thiel CS 2.4's less than 3 Ohm minimum impedance. | |
| Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's Djohnson54, no component is completely neutral.

| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? Ah, I do miss the Audiogon edit function!Another thing to consider is that we're talking about an older pair of Vandersteens here. Tube amps usually cost more than ss amps. I don't think it would be prudent to spend a lot of money on amplification... | |
| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? Rather than the load, I think the sonic signature of the Vandersteens: ripe bass, a bit of a peak in the lower treble and rolled off high end, resembles classic tube amp sound, which might suggest that one might want to avoid doubling up on those ... | |
| Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's Your cj MF 2100 is not a Class D amp, it's a class AB amp. | |
| Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's With all due respect to Stevecham, the Thiel 2.4's are not easy to drive. | |
