Amp for Thiel 2.2?

I know variations of this question has been discussed several times, but many of the questions and responses have been from many years ago. So here I am again. I just bought my Thiels 2.2 on Craig's List KC for $650. I have been listening to them powered with a Music Hall A-25.2 and playing my music with a PC laptop and a HRT Streamer II+. My thought was to use the Music Hall as a preamp for a while until I make that investment. I would like to find something $400-$1200, but I would spend more if it would make a difference. One other thing is, there is no place near to audition any HIFI near me in KC, so I really need to rely on your comments to guide me. Thanks

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
