Thiel Owners

Class A/B according to the website. Most important of all, this amp is hand built, 100% in-house, Canada. I did verify with Anthem directly.
Happy Listening!

now, the fun really begins as I start pondering a CD/SACD spinner and cabling that ties it all together. I have only heard Anthem gear w/ Audioquest cabling (older models). Other than Audioquest, I have spent the most time with Transparent Audio cabling (I do not know if this brand is a sonic match?).

Happy Listening!

Jafant, I do hope you get to hear the STR with your Thiel’s before committing to it.
I wouldn’t exactly agree that it’s “very powerful”, not with your Thiel’s at least.
Look at the specs below 4 Ohms, both the integrated and the SRT power amp seem to drop current output fairly dramatically (for ss) below 4 Ohms, which is where your 2.4’s reside from 100 Hz straight through past 20 KHz. Below 100 Hz the 2.4’s impedance curve is a bit of a roller coaster ride with some challenging phase angles too. It’s power output below 4 Ohms is comparable to a less than 138 Watts per channel amp that could truly double down to 2 Ohms. Of course, depending on room, source material and desired listening volumes, either could be satisfactory.
Personally I would be concerned about depreciation purchasing one of these new.

Thanks! for the specs- unsound.
those thoughts did cross my mind of course. I am working on a connection
with the Anthem rep for my area/district whom uses this integrated in his system featuring CS 3.7 loudspeakers.  I will take the 138w doubling down into 2 ohms, so long as, the current is engaging.
Happy Listening!
