I bought my Thiel CS2's in 1987 or 88 for $1500 the pair. Used them ever since. All above comments/observations are accuratee in some way or another.
I have always use solid state to run them, Bryston too bright, Hafler just right! Program material will also determine sound quality.
Agree tubes might work well with them as I may have heard them thru tubes on first audition. I didn't look at the amp. However, CS2 specs say amp power range starts at 40W. In a well dampened room the sound stage appears dead center. Hope you enjoy!
