Thiel CS3.6 and GCA-250 Any Opinions

Hi all.
Looking at picking up one of these amps, just wondering if anyone has heard this combo?
I do not see the current rating on the amp, just power ratings.
Just not sure if it has the grunt for the big Thiel's.
Used to own a HCA-2 and I liked it, and the GCA is supposed to be better.
Dave.

Old thread, but do you still the thiel?  I just picked up a set and probably need to move up to a bigger amp.  Currently have McIntosh mc7150 at 150 watts and they sing

Hi.
I haven’t logged in for quite sometime. I still own the Thiels and I have been though several amps and I currently use a Yorkville Audio Pro AP 1200.
Yes a pro amp, but puts everything else I have tried to shame, other than a Moon W5, that was just sublime but out of reach budget wise.
The AP is capable of over a kilowatt and 60 amps of current, and will drive a dead short (but Yorkville says please don’t do it on purpose, hard on the outputs)
