jafant, If your considering purchasing the Krell integrated for your Thiel CS 2.4's, you might want to look at these links first: http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs24-loudspeaker-measurements#F3OmZIVoWqW1lz84.97 http://www.stereophile.com/content/krell-kav-400xi-integrated-amplifier-measurements#p0kvyEQQyst8Sdx... |
Hi, I read the above links and despite "test-bench" measurements, I can only say this is a very good sounding and powerful Amp. With that said though, when listening at live performance volumes, the amp does get very hot. My speakers are rated to be 8 ohms nominal, I don't know what they dip to, but if your Thiel's (I owned a set of 3.5's) dip into the 2 ohm range, then listening at live performance volumes for long periods may cause you to blow a fuse. But this never happened to me. If you go just by the reviews, your Thiel's may not be the best match with this amp (if you listen mostly at live performance volumes).
