Thiel Owners

pwhinson - thanks for the insight into how the Bel Canto Ref600s sound with the 2.4s; it seems Class D amps are generally not favored for Thiels but this is the first time I have heard details as to why for any specific make/model, and I have been wondering about these amps specifically because of their generally excellent reviews.  I also wonder about the PS Audio Stellar M700s (or even the S300) for the same reason.  Anyone else out there with ears-on experience with other Class D amps paired with Thiels?

I caution that we should distinguish between makes & models rather than commenting on "class D amps" in general. A lot of progress has been made with switching rates and filters so that some class D amps are leagues ahead of other class D amps.

Tom, aren't the smartsubs a class D switching amplifier? I was always curious about the power output at lower impedance.
