Thiel Owners

I still daydream about my Thiel 3.6's, which I sold some years ago, and sometimes I think I should get another pair.  But, when I had my 3.6's, I powered them with a Krell KSA 200, and the sound was glorious.  Nowadays, though, my amplification is an Ayre AX 5-20.  I would appreciate anyone's comments on how the Ayre would pair with 3.6's, in case I get the opportunity to move back to Thiels.

Thank You for the follow up. Sounds like you are off to a great start.

Happy Listening!

AYRE and Thiel are sonic matches. At least 2 Panel members here enjoy the AX-5 Twenty Amp with CS 2.4/SE loudspeakers. There are quite a few fans and owners of the 3.6, stay tuned until those guys chime in to address your query.

Happy Listening!

thanks, Jafant.  Appreciate your response.

@77jovian, Much of the recent amp discusion here has previously been disucssed here. Suffice to say that I doubt that the Ayre AX-5 twenty is up to driving the CS 3.6's or 2.7's to their potential. The steady impedance levels of these speakers are beyond the specs of this amplfier. Your old Krell KSA 200 would seem to be a much better match.
