Best amp for Thiel 3.6 speakers?

I started out driving mine with an older Aragon 4004 Mk II. They sounded very good but all the majic was not there. Now using Bryston 7B's in High Current mode - Fantastic!!! I also recommend Classe 301 and up.

I've had great success with the older Krell line / the KSA and MDA series. The least powerful is the KSA-150 and the most powerful & mighty MDA-500 mono blocks. I have all 3 of these rotating in my system which was built around the CS-3.6's...Try a KSA-150 (plenty of power/150-300-600-1200 @ 1 ohm) first with MIT MH-750 cables. Both used would run about $2k to $2.5k and you can purchase a second KSA-150 at a later date and have them converted over to the admirable MDA-300 mono blocks if more power is needed, ie. large room or Stupid Approved listening levels. Thiel even used the MDA series during the design back in the early 90's.

I beleive the Thiel recommends using CLasse with their speakers. I've never heard it but thiel reccommends it and everyone who tries it loves it. I hope this helps.

Using ML 333 with mine. It sounds a bit laid back, I think this is due to the ML amp. Otherwise, very detailed, good soundstage, and well-controled bass. Very revealing of any weakness of front end equipment and bad recordings. I am running a pair of Transparent Ultras speaker cable. The rest of the system consists of ARC LS 2B MkII pre + PH3 SE for phono; ML #37 (transport) + Genesis Digital Lens + SFD2 MkII (D/A) for digital; Michell Orbe SE + SME V + Benz M2 (woodbody) for analog. MIT balanced interconnects, Illuminati digital cables, Eletra Glide powercords + PS P300. I am using NOS tubes and different cones/vibation devices to fine tune the sound. I've also had my Pass Aleph Os running the 3.6s for a little while. Not enough power, but great with small ensembles at low volume. It's in my bedroom powering my second system now.

Pass Lab x-150 or 250
