Thiel Owners

 Thank you for y’all’s responses. I think what I’m going to do is go ahead and wait for the full kit be complete then I can do it all at once and be confident in my choice thank you!

Happy Friday - All.

Considering a Classe CAV-150 for my CS 2.3s.  Can't find a pro/definitive review with measurements, but based on everything I have read, this should be a good match, esp with my goal of cleaner treble and a bit more body in the mids.  Not thrilled about buying a ~20 year old amp tho, y'all got any advice for me?

One Thiel-related thought. That amp is rated for 4 ohm minimum impedance. Your CS2.3 rides around 4 ohms over much of its range, but drops to 3 over a broad area from 100 to 1K Hz, and touches 2 ohms at 400-500 Hz where there is lots of musical content. See the Stereophile review. If I were throwing that load at that amp, I would seek real hard-core knowledge and experience. More to the point, I would default to believing Classé, and not burden that amp with that load.

thosb --I used a Classe ca-100 for years with my old 2.2s. Then I bought a Classe ca-300. BIG difference: dynamics, stage, you name it. Couldn't believe I had lived with such low power for all those years! I still have the 2.2s (which I plan to sell), but now run my 3.7s with the Classe ca-300. It sounds terrific, but a teeny congested on orchestral climaxes, stuff like that. So I'm on the lookout for an amp upgrade at some point.
