Thiel Owners

@arvincastro regarding Class D amps - I have a pair of the Bel Canto REF600M monos.  My initial impression driving either 2.7's or 3.6's wasn't favorable and I believe this was due to a poor match with other associated components.  At the time everything that I had was going towards the accurate side of the spectrum and this may have not been a good recipe to insert the Bel Cantos into.

I need to try them again with the Thiels using my newest preamp - a Levinson 326s.

As a point of partial reference I'm running the 2.7's with Bryston 7BST monos and the 3.6's with a Krell TAS in stereo mode.

The Bel Canto amps are currently running B&W CDM1SE's in an office system with excellent results.

Also thanks to everyone who is involved in keeping Thiel alive on this forum and elsewhere!

Hello!

Thanks for sharing your experience...especially considering Bel Canto’s amps are definitely on my short list of auditioning. 
I may have to adjust my thinking as I am primarily looking at D-amplification from an efficiency standpoint but haven’t researched too deeply in how well it would match with the rest of my tube-based gear...especially considering I went with tube line stage & phono preamp to add some “lushness” to the revealing nature of my CS3.5’s. 
Thanks again & please let me know how those 600M’s go along with your Levinson.

Did Stereophile review the Kento already? I didn’t renew my subscription last year. Not happy with JA’s promotion, even hype, of MQA. Jim Austin taking the reins was a deal breaker for me. 
Meanwhile, JA’s protocols really put Thiels and Vandersteens at a disadvantage. Comparing Stereophile’s and Soundstage’s measurements of the CS2.4, for example, it’s almost like they were not measuring the same speaker (Soundstage contracts with NRC which has a real anechoic chamber and they can measure at 2 m). The 2.4 has what appears to be the flattest frequency response in the Soundstage database!

What is really, really unfair is designing an amp for just the high pass and knowing the load like the back of your hand - and at two price points. 
I will post something  quasi politically correct about JA tomorrow... I suppose it’s a tightrope
