Does a Class D amp match well with Thiel Speakers?

I'll agree that toss everything in the pot and it either works or doesn't work in the end.

Detail, imaging, dynamics, etc. are all just means to an end.

" I'm just happier when they are working their magic at a sort of subconscious level"

This is design philosophy expressed by Simon Thacher of Spectron in his article:

and I believe also expressed by Ralph "Athmosphere" in his white papers when he describes the role of very low level of odd order harmonic distortions in music perception...

The entirely opposite road was taken by David Wilson, who 10-15 years ago had recording studio and he built for himself recording monitor WATT. It was extremely sensitive to detail as very good recording monitor should (no emotional involvment here - you change something and then you listen the results). A few friends asked him to build WATT for them too and it is how Wilson Audio - famous speaker manufacturer was born. I always had to tame earlier WATT/Puppy with old Conrad-Johnston warm tube pre/power amplifier: it was wonderful, wonderful combination [ well, except neither amp nor speakers could reproduce sympnonic creshendo but its another story)

Wilson was making Wamms way before the Watts.
