Amp for Thiel 2.3s. Anyone use Classe with them?


I recently purchased the 2.3s and while they have breathtaking sound I do find them bright. My amp is no slouch (Simaudio Moon W5)But I am wondering if the Classe 200/300 would be a more suitable companion given that they are warm sounding (at least that is what I have been told).

Would appreciate the thoughts of anybody who owns Thiels.

Thank you

Hello, I have owned the Thiel MCS 1's the 2.3's the CS 6's and the 7's. I always used Classe Amps, including the CA 300,the newer 301 ( which I liked more than the 300 as it was quieter w/ no ground loop hum)and the Omega. Krell to me sounded to dark with Thiel. I also used Audio Research pre-amps including the LS 2B Mk II and the REF II. Believe it or not for the money I used the LS 2 because it was a hybrid. The 1 tube design I thought was just right. At alot of the shows I used to see, Thiel,Classe and A.R. used alot together. Good Luck!
