Threshold SA3 or T200 amp

I've searched the archives and can't find a direct answer to which one of these amps would sound better with my Thiel CS6 speakers. If the price were about the same, which amp would you buy? They're both class A (60WPC for the SA3 vs. 100WPC for the T200)

I'd suggest the one with more power.

Ditto, your speakers need as much power as you can through at them. Also make sure that the amp can handle a low impedance as your speakers dip to 2.5 ohms and are basically 4 ohm speakers. Check how much current the amp can deliver. Cheers

Thiel are lean sounding, so I go for the smoothness and warmth of the SA3 which I owned. You just cant rock out with it.
