Best amp for ThielCS6.


Hi
I just sold my Krell fpb200,and need a new amp for my Thielcs6's wondering if a bigger Krell would be better or something like Pass labs, or even Classe.
Thank's for your sugestion's

We have the CS6es and after auditioning most of the usual suspects; ARC VT-200 (great mids misses on the details), the new ARC M150 SS (very nice all around and can be multi-channeled), Classe CA-201 (nice mids but really loses detail during complicated passages - I sold mine since), the 300 watt Krell (don't remember the model, great bass could be a little more musical) and finally our choice the BAT VK-6200 which does everything very well and gives up nothing. It runs unbelievably cool and just plain kicks butt. It's not cheap but neither were your speakers. If you're familiar with their tube amps the sound of the VK-6200 is not very different. Take you time and check them all out - just don't skimp.

I am using VTL 300 Deluxe Mono Blocks with my Thiel 6’s. They replaced a Krell FPB 200. The only area without major improvement was deep bass. Try giving TUBES an audition, you may find them to your liking.
A Classe Omicron would make a great match. I used to drive my Thiel CS7.2s with one. Before choosing the Omicron I auditioned the Classe CAM 350s, ML336, FPB300, and MC602. Overall I found the Omicron fuller bodied and more powerful than the CAM 350s, more evenhanded and less dark than the ML336, more musical than the FPB300, and better resolution and extension than the MC602.
