I have a Forte F55 power amp (100w/ch) with a Forte 44 preamp. Would I be able to drive Thiel CS 3.5s or 3.6s with this? I know the Thiels like power. Are the CS 2.3 or 2.4s any easier to drive--could they be driven with my amp and preamp?
You can drive virtually any speaker with virtually any amp. The question is how good will it sound. I have heard The 2.6 size Thiel sound really good with a solid (not state) 200wpc amp. Some higher current 100 watt amps, like your Forte should be suitable, but I wouldn't push my luck trying the bigger Thiels, with it.
Matt get the Odyssey Extreme Stratos monoblock,If you want good music in your room. They are match made in heaven,power? No problem.They even powered my friend CS6 Thiel with ease.There is one for sale by TVAD, the price is a give away.
