| Thiel Owners I can’t speak for the Class D offerings, but of most else, IME there are very few integrated amps that are really ideal for most Thiel’s. There are a lot of very good reasons to go with separates. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here Mapman, both the 2.3's and 2.4's drop below 3 Ohms. Bel Canto suggests a minimum load of 3 Ohms per channel for the C5i. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here Thiel recommended at least 1' from the rear wall, at least 3' from side walls, and at least 8' from the listening position. Thiel recommended ideally, 3' from the rear wall, 5' from the side walls and 10' (he measured at 3 meters) from listening p... | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here Mapman, in the present marketplace CS 2’s Should be in mint shape to command $600. FYI, the CS 2’s have been Thiel’s most durable and reliable model. The impedance is one of the smoothest I’ve ever seen, 6 Ohms nominal, 5 Ohms minimal with a reaso... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant, I do hope you get to hear the STR with your Thiel’s before committing to it.I wouldn’t exactly agree that it’s “very powerful”, not with your Thiel’s at least.Look at the specs below 4 Ohms, both the integrated and the SRT power amp seem t... | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here ^Bravo! Spot on!If I might add: IMHO with perhaps exceptions made for the self powered bass Vandy’s, the Thiel’s are more forgiving of room/placement, and the Vandy’s are more forgiving of amplification. | |
| Thiel Owners https://www.anthemav.com/products-current/series=str-series/type=integrated-amp/model=str-integrated...nutty, The Thiel 2.4’s don’t have powered woofers. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here The later co-axial 2 series might need more than 60 Watts. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here ^Still not bad, but not the quite the exceptional value they first appeared to be. The appropriate eq's can be found, though I’ve noticed the prices of which have been escalating. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here uberwaltz, been eyeing those myself, even though I don't need another pair. Unfortunately, Mapman's current integrated amps doesn't have a tape loop to accommodate the 3.5's eq. Too bad, as his room seems up to carrying that down to 20 Hz small fo... | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here I suggest getting as much bass as you can. IMHO, Thiel's might sometimes sound a bit tilted up without lower octave support. With the various Thiel's models I think you'll find that the heights of the cabinets vary more than the actual footprints.... | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here At the risk of appearing petty, when it comes to Thiel’s I think it best to think in terms of sensitivity rather than efficiency. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here No foam surrounds on Thiel 3.5’s. | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here How much bass can the room handle? | |
| Scoring on Used Thiels here Enough for many, but perhaps not ideal. |
