Best amp for ThielCS6.

I second the Pass Labs choice with the CS6's! I used to sell the CS6's with Pass gear, and the likes of even the X150, 250 or above, all sounded supeb with them!
And I used to sell Krell with them as well. Still the Pass sounded like a better match to my ear. Really, I can't immaging doing much better for any SANE money. good luck

A friend of mine has CS6 (has had them a long time it seems) and he settled on McIntosh too. He had a Classe 300, then a Rowland (don't remember which), and now an old McIntosh 2300 and loves it to death. I remember he tried a Mc300 for a while but likes the 2300 better. Pass should be good too.

The Classe as recommended to me by Theil himself for my 2.3's.

We have the CS6es and after auditioning most of the usual suspects; ARC VT-200 (great mids misses on the details), the new ARC M150 SS (very nice all around and can be multi-channeled), Classe CA-201 (nice mids but really loses detail during complicated passages - I sold mine since), the 300 watt Krell (don't remember the model, great bass could be a little more musical) and finally our choice the BAT VK-6200 which does everything very well and gives up nothing. It runs unbelievably cool and just plain kicks butt. It's not cheap but neither were your speakers. If you're familiar with their tube amps the sound of the VK-6200 is not very different. Take you time and check them all out - just don't skimp.

I would highly recommend Conrad Johnson or Pass.
