Is Accuphase E-560 a good match for Thiel CS 3.7?

I am looking for some integrated amp for Thiel CS 3.7, and I am wondering if Accuphase E-560 is a good match for it? How about Accuphase E-450? If they are not good, what else integrated amp is good for Thiel 3.7? Right now, I am also thinking about to choose a CD player. Is Ayre C-7xe a good match for Thiel 3.7? or can you recommend something else? BTW, can you recommend some cables? Thank you in advance.

I would guess anything over 100 wpc would work fine. I have heard them with a Simaudio i-7 and it was excellent. The C-7xe is a little underpowered for that speaker imo.

Sorry,Im cross eyed today,The Accuphase intergrateds you mention will be very good.The more powerful one will fit Thiel best.The Ayre CD players are excellent.It would be a great stereo.I cant comment but I guess I will throw Anti-cables out there.They work fine in my system and many others,good luck,Bob

Accuphase is pure class A 30 W× 2 ch (8Ω). Is it powerful enough to drive Thiel CS 3.7?

Great amp, great speaker, bad match IMHO, that is just not the right amount of power for the 3.7, as Mmike84 says, I would think you need 100w minimum, and if you want Class A, that is going to cost $$$$.
