Does a Class D amp match well with Thiel Speakers?


I am considering purchasing either the the Thiel 2.4 or 3.7 Speakers. Definitely, I would appreciate the feedback.

Again, you may consider a tube pre...in order to 'soften' the sound.
The THIEL can be, depending on the other gear in the system, somewhat 'dry' sounding. Potato, potaaaato.
I always preferred them with a tube somewhere.
Kathy Gornik, (now owner of THIEL) and I used to say, laughingly, 'I never heard a solid state amp that I didn't like better with a tube preamp'....the meaning clear, especially in the context of THIEL speakers in the chain.

Sam, you're welcome. Hope I didn't come across as some kind of "ARC know-it-all", merely that since I use a 150.2 with my Maggies, I have a vested interested in ARC's "Class D" amps! I'm also consistent with many of the other posters in this thread in that I too use a tube pre amp (in my case an ARC SP-8) in front of the SS amp, so while I don't have experience with the Thiel speakers, my general experience and choices seem in-line with the others.
Class D is the first place I would look to power Thiels well.

I use an ARC tube pre-amp with my Class D amp and power and current hungry OHM speakers and find that to be a very effective combo.

Not all Class Ds are equally tube preamp friendly. Ones with higher input impedance (60Kohm or higher)are the safest bets.
