THIEL CS 2.4 PURCHASE

Dave, good choice. I use Harmonic Tech cables in my Thiel system and am very happy withe them. Lots of air, detail, rich mids and outstanding bass.

I probably took to long to answer this thread, but I have been very happy usuing the Bryston 3B-SST. It has enough power for powerful transients, I have been able to reach high volumes around 105 dB with ease, and louder. I believe my preamp makes everything sound somewhat "electronic" not as natural as normal. Overall I am very happy using the Bryston.

Dave,

I have the 2.3, a slightly harder load, and I have used the Bryston 4B-ST, Plinius SA-102 and now the Rogue Zeus.

I've found that while power is key, the quality of power -- and everything else down the line -- is crucial.

I've had good luck over the years using Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cables.

Good luck with your Thiels. They are a great speaker. I have replaced just about every other component in my system but kept the Thiels. They really reward you.

I used to own Thiel 2.4 and tried a number of amps. u definitely need a high current amp. I highly recommend Pass X250.5 or X350.5, ASL hurriance or KW500.

I guess I'm swimming against the current here. I run mine with a 80 watts a Cary SLI-80 using the 4 ohm taps. The room is 22X12X8 and they sound just fine. I have a ss amp 350 per channel but do not feel the need to use it.
