The only amp that managed not to drive the thiel speaks was a air tight 8 watts per chanel into 8 ohms. they damaged the surrounds of thiel 2 2 customer. I have also auditioned pass labs x-150 w/thiel 7.2's in a dealer showroom. the room is 20' x 60' x 22' ft high no problems at all beautiful sounding. thiel recommends at least 50 watts per channel for any of its speakers. while waiting for my amp and other components i was burning in my thiel 2.3's with/a 35 watt denon receiver. was fine no problems.
my system thiel 2.3, pass labs x-350, x-2, sony scd-1, theta gen5a
