Thiel Owners

Considering a Classe CAV-150 for my CS 2.3s.  Can't find a pro/definitive review with measurements, but based on everything I have read, this should be a good match, esp with my goal of cleaner treble and a bit more body in the mids.  Not thrilled about buying a ~20 year old amp tho, y'all got any advice for me?

One Thiel-related thought. That amp is rated for 4 ohm minimum impedance. Your CS2.3 rides around 4 ohms over much of its range, but drops to 3 over a broad area from 100 to 1K Hz, and touches 2 ohms at 400-500 Hz where there is lots of musical content. See the Stereophile review. If I were throwing that load at that amp, I would seek real hard-core knowledge and experience. More to the point, I would default to believing Classé, and not burden that amp with that load.

thosb --I used a Classe ca-100 for years with my old 2.2s. Then I bought a Classe ca-300. BIG difference: dynamics, stage, you name it. Couldn't believe I had lived with such low power for all those years! I still have the 2.2s (which I plan to sell), but now run my 3.7s with the Classe ca-300. It sounds terrific, but a teeny congested on orchestral climaxes, stuff like that. So I'm on the lookout for an amp upgrade at some point.

Is anybody else using or have used a Parasound aA21 on the cA2.4’s. I use a one for years.  I’d be interested in what others thought. Specifically about how the amp and bass response were handled. 

tmsrdg - for what it's worth, you might offer those 2.2s to this group first. I know it's all vaporware until we have real upgraded speakers for comparison and review, but I anticipate significantly better sound from the new hot-rodded 2.2s.
