Tube Amp recommendation for Thiel CS1.6 under $2k


Noticed a lot of tube amps have low wattage ratings and my Thiels say 50-300W.

Have a 24’ x 18’ and looking for a recommendations or thoughts on best integrated or power amp (ideally vintage) to drive them nicely.

Great tubes ( especially RCA Blacks from the 50"s ) , I use 3 of them in my phono preamp .

You're not the only person with redundancy issues , every now and then my responses are double sent , it seems to come and go .

What speakers and system equipment do you have now ?

Feel free to join us on Thiel Owners thread. The MF M6si is an excellent match for CS 1.5, CS 1.6 and CS 2.4 loudspeakers.

 

Happy Listening!

Tubes amps driving low impedance speakers often put out less than their rated power, usually spec'd at 8 Ohms  . Add to that a low efficiency speaker and that equals buyers remorse.
