Suggestions for Thiel and Conrad Johnson tube amp

IMHO, one would be better off choosing an amp for a speaker, rather than speakers for an amp. This is especially true for Thiels. If you like the sound of tubed c-j's perhaps you should consider one of their preamps(instead).

I am driving my Thiel 2.3s with a Plinius SA 100 amp and CJ Premier 17 pre-amp. I find that the Thiel's really benefit from the SS / Tube combo, as the SS provides the power necessary to drive the heavy Thiel load, while the tube provides welcome warmth to what has been described as an analytical sounding speaker...all that said, I understand that the new 2.4s are easier to drive than past Thiels, and this might make them a good fit for your CJ amp. I've listened to the 2.4s once at a local audio shop and I found them to be a big step up from the 2.3s.

The Thiel CS6 and Stratos extreme monoblock, is
world class match, the musicality and the
listening level is so high,when I took the
stratos to my friend and hooked up his x250,
He cant even listen to it, It was so obvious
that the music jump out of the window.
Even the Krell 300 FPB,and Thiel with good
front end did not match the musicality of
Thiel and Extreme.Try first before you buy.
IMHO
