Amp for Thiel 2.2?

I agree with Dc2daylight that Thiels n Classe make a good pair. I had a pair of Thiels 2 2s, with Classe DR-6 preamp n DR-9 power amp for 13 years, before the upgrade bug hit me.

Classe tonality was warmer in their earlier days, but then the CAM 350 monos make sense, as the 2 2s definitely deserves more than an integrated. Best to combine a tube preamp together with the CAM 350s - you will not go wrong

Thiel has used many different amps over the years to demo their speakers at shows, and sometimes for different reasons.

Well, I bought an am here this week. Some of you may want to slap me over my decision. I am a professor of photography for 30 years and lots of young photographers would ask for my recommendations for lighting and camera. I would spend some time and share my experiences with them and then they would go buy something I would never recommend.

I bought the Aragon 3002 that was on sale here this week. My searching all over the net found many recommendations for the Aragon 4004 and the Acurus 250. I am aware that there is some grumbling about about Klipsch messing up this amp. Well, the guy said it was reduced for a quick sale and I just could not resist a sale.

I am going to use my Music Hall integrated for a preamp for a while and start looking for a preamp.

Thanks for all the imput even if I did not listen???

Jerrycentral...congrats on the new amp. All that matters is that the amp works out for you and that you are happy with it. If it does, great, and if it does not, it sounds like you got a good enough price on it that you will not take much of a hit if you have to turn around and sell it and look for something else. Either way, good luck and happy listening.

While not my first choice, it is a good choice. Hope you find a suitable pre. Enjoy!
