I have Thiels for +2 years and they are broken in.
Mac is 200 watt in 2, 4, 8 ohm load (autoformers)
I use it as an integrated amp.
I did not change the stock MacIntosh power cord. I did not hear much of a difference changing 1500$ Transparent speaker cables for plain wires so I did not think power cord can help. That set-up with Mac lost analitical properities. Everything seems the same. I used to hear clearly difference in quality of the recordings. Some were great sounding some were terrible to listen to. Now there are differences but not so obvious. I realy need the sound to open up and shine. It is closed in and dull.
May be my listenig room is to small? 4 x 5 x 2,4 meter ( 12 x 15 x 8 feet)
