THIEL CS 2.4 PURCHASE

With amps:-)

I am with unsound in his assesment concerning driving your Thiels. You can go to Thiels web site as well and get more information or simply call them they are always willing to help. I have 3.6's and utilize conrad johnson electronics and can say from personnel experience that Thiels love quality electronics and will reward you with sound that will make your hair stand on edge when you do. Enjoy your Thiels and good luck in your search for amplification. When doing so keep in mind quality over quantity.

I have very good experience with the McCormack DNA 500. I have to agree with Irish65 for his assesmments with C/J gears. I also tried it with the Premier 350 and the results were just simply breathtaking. Please feel free to email me directly if you need more information or need help looking for a nice quality amplifier. I have a demo unit, DNA 500, if you're interested.

Dave,

I auditioned the 2.4's being powered by a Musical Fidelity KW500 integrated amp and it sounded fantastic. I had actually ordered a pair in the Morado finish when I realized that my room wasn't big enough for them, and I cancelled the order.

I also auditioned them at another store where they had them in their HT room with cheaper amps and it was easy to tell (after hearing them with the MF) that the cheap equipment wasn't providing the power or quality signal that they needed. It sounded good but disappointing since I knew they did better.

Don't scimp on quality or power and you'll be fine, as long as you have the 8-10 distance between you and the speakers so they'll integrate right.

Dave,

I would recommend looking at the following to start with:

McCormack DNA 255 (SS)
Sim Audio W3 or W5 (SS)
Rogue M150's (Tube)
Quad 909 (SS)

Good luck
