I used to use the TFM-35’s many years ago. I Don’t know if they were the x’s or not. I then purchased a demo pair of Thiel CS2.3’s and connected it to the Carver. The sound was so shrill, that my wife refused to let my play any Music. She thought the music sounded like fingernails scratching a chalk board. I replaced the Carver, with a Plinius 8150 and my wife let me listen to music again. My wife and I I still enjoy the Plinius/Thiel combination that is decades old and now located at my mountain home.
The Carver worked very well for many years in my home theater system with real M&K speakers. IMO this amp is better suited for home theater than music.
Based upon this experience, I am in agreement with cedargrover that you make certain to test potential speakers with at least one of your Carver amps prior to any final purchase.
