Does a Class D amp match well with Thiel Speakers?

I think everyone agree they need power and current.

That means either Krell like big heavy and inefficient monster amp or smaller, more manageable and energy efficient Class D.

If you are going to pair the Thiels with Class D you would be better served with a tube preamp IMHO.

We're in total agreement.

Good listening.

In response to Mapman's thread. He is correct that most powerful amps are big, heavy, run hot as Hades, but the Magtech only weighs 55 lbs and idles at I believe 12 watts. It runs cool and designed to be left on all the time if you desire. I had a McIntosh MC-402 before I purchased the Magtech. I was a little skeptical about this amp, but the Magtech has a 30 days free trial period and after I listened to it, the Mac went up for sale. I just can't understand why someone that needs a highpowered amp that is reasonably priced would not opt to try the Magtech. It want cost you a dime to try it for 30 days. Before some of you folks jump on me for touting this amp, NO, I have no business interest with Sanders Sound Systems. I am just a very happy customer who believes that it is a fantastic amp with a real world price and a lifetime warranty. I am driving a pair of Duntech Sovereign speakers and they have never sounded better. Just my 2 cents worth. Happy listening fellow audiophiles.

Larry is right .. in fact I'm enjoing the Lector Zoe tube preamp in front my Parasound Halo JC1's - Thiel CS2.4 more than the Pass Labs X1
