looking for amp for thiel 2.4 speakers.


hi
i just sold my classe ca-300 to a friend who really wanted it and paid plenty for it (and i was not very happy with it), so now i need a new amp. i am looking for something used around the $1500-$2000 range.
the rest of my system is sonic frontiers line 1 pream(tube), classe cd player (being replaced by sonic frontiers cd player (tube) very soon) and acoustic zen cables and ps audio power cables.
i liked the combination of tubes ans solid state, so a solid state amp is my first choice. can anybody recomend, the only 2 that i have in mind are:
bat vk-200
plinius sa-100

thanks in advance.

Well, It could be your mistake to sell off your Classe CA300. I had thiels 2.2 and now 2.4. With the 2.2, I used all tube gears to get the best trebles and mids but giving away a lot of bass control. The 2.4 has a much sweeter trebles and mates well with warm sounding SS amps. I now use ca401 and its over-all performances is very satisfactory. Lots of warmth, air and Big Sounding. They recommend at leat 200w ss amps for 2.4 and going down to 3 omps means more power form tube amps. You would only get half of your thiels with the amps you listed. Good Luck
