Thiel Owners

Happy Black Friday-

hope everyone's Thanksgiving was filled w/ Family and Music.
I know the things in which I am grateful.

Jafant, as for recommendations, well it's just so personal. I've  given you considerations from Thiel 2.4's perspective. Your room and the desired volume potential, as well as what you might have proceeding the amplification should be considered. I'm not sure if your dead set on an integrated or if not, have specific preamp considerations in mind such as ss, tubes, balanced single ended, impedance, sensitivity, etc. The recommendations I try to provide should help one avoid technical pitfalls, and narrow down the selection list to a manageable size. After that it still comes down to personal preference. If your more specific I can offer you gear I'd consider based on those parameters and if you like; stuff I like within those parameters.

Well, Pass Labs, Krell, Mark Levinson and Conrad Johnson (solid state) make my list.
What else-unsound? Integrated is an option?

My room is a living space;
16w x 12d x 12-14h.  A tubed pre-amp could be an option?
Medium to high volume for certain music/recordings. Balanced/unbalanced
does not matter so long as I dig the gear. I listen to Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classical, all to appropriate scale.

Noted tubed pre-amps that I really enjoyed;
ARC Ref5 SE, CJ ET-3 SE and Aesthetix Calypso Signature.

Happy Listening!
