Found a set of CS 2.3s in the Audio Solutions store in Indy, they were nice enough to hook them up to a PrimaLuna Dailogue Premium HP Integrated and the sound was great, very much what I am looking for. Based on this listen, I think the Dialogue Premium HP amp would be a good match, but still not sure about how well other products in the PrimaLuna line-up would work. Surprisingly, a Rogue Atlas Magnum II was not in the same ballpark. Next step is to call Kevin at Upscale....
PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3?
Thinking about pairing PrimaLuna with Thiel CS 2.3s, with these speakers assume I’d benefit greatly from amps on the high end of PL’s wpc range, and looking to purchase on the used market in the $2000-3000 range, so considering ProLogue 7s up to DiaLogue Premium HP. Any watch-outs or recommendations? Rogue or CJ also possibilities.....

https://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs23-loudspeaker-specifications These speakers are best served by an amplifier that at a minimum can produce 400 Watts into 2 Ohms, and preferably more. |
thosb OPAlmarg has given you good info heed it! The Prima Luna no matter what model, is not a good match with these speakers, it may work and sound ok to you, but you can bet your bottom dollar your not getting the best from the speakers, especially in the bass mid/bass where all the current is needed.
