Thiels like power, try a McIntosh MC352 or the new MC400 4500.oo. Or look at EDGE, Bryston, Sherbourne,etc. But I would get at least 300w to properkly drive the 2.4's I did audition them and they were very impressive much better than the 2.3's

So you might be fine with as little 100+ watts into 4 ohms, maybe less depending on your listening habits and room. But more power certainly won't hurt. If you can, try a few amps at home. SS and tubes.

I would get the best you can afford. I have heard the bigger Thiel's driven by the Audio Research 600 and then by the Krell FPB600 within a few minutes of each other. Both sounded great. Stick with good; no, stick with great quality. Richard
