Cables for Thiel CS6


I just bought my pair of Thiel. I'll be grateful for suggestions on which cables fit them best. The rest of the chain is Teac10 + external ADI converter +ARC Sp11 and VT100MKII with Transparent Ultra and reference XL series. My original thought was to go for Transparent Ultra XL, but I'd like to listen to you.
Thanks

I am using a McCormack DNA-2 Dlx (300 8ohm, 600 4ohm) with good results. Bought it used for $3000. I'm not saying its the end-all beat-all but it mates well.
Why don't you try SIM AUDIO amp wich are great with my Thiels. Did much better then Bryston or McIntosh.
Some updates. I tried the Gamut D200. I have not been impressed especially for bass (lack of) performance. POwer surely not enough. My Vt100 is much better. I Will keep you posted on the next steps.
I use Krell 400cx to power my CS6s. Lez is correct about them being a NOMINAL 4 Ohm speaker. Be aware that they dip to 2.4 Ohms, albeit at the benign phase angle due to the first order crossover, but still requiring an amp that can provide the current at this relatively low impedance.
I am using Cardas Golden reference throughout IC and speaker cables. I think the cardas balances the sometimes bright top end (as compared to say Sonus Faber or Avalon) and has an absolutely seductive midrange warmth, air and palpability to it that matches exceptionally well with the coherence of the Thiels 7.2. I tried Acoustic Silver reference too but found the bottom a bit too much for much taste, and the midrange not as liquid. But my power is a Pass and that might be why.
