Zaikesman, as you know Thiel did something like this with the 3 series. The 3.5's went down lower than the 3.6's. There were of course different improvements that came with the newer more expensive model. I hope Thiel isn't trying to be cute with this less specific impedance information. It really doesn't jive with the honorable way they have always done business in the past.
Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success?
I did a preliminary search of threads but did not find much of anything with regards to this specific question.
I have the CS-3.6's and love them very much. My listening habits have changed lately and want to try a tubed integrated for a while before jumping into the big $ tube amps. My room is 16x23x8 and is fairly well treated. I don't listen to high volumes anymore so huge power is not needed like it was with my Krell MDA-500 mono's. Seriously, the volumes are kept very low now and really want to try out some tube power for the glory of harmonics and richness.
I have been looking at the following integrated tube amps all in the 50 watt range:
Jolida SB-302b
Manley Stingray
C-J CAV-50
Rogue Tempest
Any experience with this type of combo is appreciated, and other choices for integrated amp is welcome.
