wyred 4 sound vs odyssey khartago

The Odyssey seems like a good way to go. You can make some significant upgrades to it.

Unless Klaus offers a cap upgrade for the Khartago, this amp could be dismissed for driving theils to any appreciable levels for rock music. The Odyssey Stratos with a cap upgrade would be a better choice as opposed to the stock Khartago. Also the Wyred 4 Sound ST-250 should be a good candidate as well. I have owned all these amps before and in terms of sound quality they are all very good.

I'm not familiar with either amp, but let me remind all that these particular Thiels; the CS 2's are not that difficult a load:
Thiels specs: 2.87 DB/2.83V/m, 6 Ohms nominal/5 Ohms minimum, 40-250 Watts/channel recommended.
Stereophiles measurements (keep in mind that Stereophile has been unable to test Thiels at Thiel's recommended listening distance): http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs2-loudspeaker-measurements

Unsound, thankyou for bringing this info on the CS2's. I was under the impression they presented a difficult load.

Me too. But I gotta say, that impedance plot in the Stereophile review is about the most amplifier-friendly curve I've ever seen.
