Wyred 4 Sound and Thiels


Has anyone tried Wyred 4 Sound with Thiels? I am considering a W4S STI 500 integrated amp for use with Thiel 1.6's. Also, would you upgrade to the STI 1000 if I ultimately plan to use with Thiel 2.4's. Thanks

Another Thiel owner interested in the Wyred 4 Sound amps. For absolutely no good reason, I'm guessing these amps might sound better with Vandersteens.
Not the Wyred amp but I used the Bel Canto S500 with the Thiel 1.6s. It was a nice match IMO. It's been a while so specifics are difficult to recall but don't remember ever being disappointed.
I think a lot of times the shops will talk down stuff they can't sell or that a competitor sells.

I would bet if you would go in there & say you have a w4s STI-1000 & are interested in a pair of theil X.XX's they would say it would be a great match.....
The detailed review in 6 moons concluded that this amp has a rather warm and full bodied character, seems pontentially a good mate with the thiels.
What is the dealer suppose to say when the WyredSound amp is sold factory direct. He can't knock the amp but the "synergy" ah! On the other hand it has got to be tough on the brick and mortar retailer to compete with a factory direct quality product from a pricing/value point on some gear.
I sure don't want them to go out of business, but if Circuit City and host of others can't survive selling mid fi and less the high end retailer has a tough road.
