Yes, even though the 2.3 is more efficient than other Thiels, well, at lower power levels my experience was that the sound was lean. I got good results with CJ Premier 12's at 140 watts per side, but I suspect that doubling the power would have resulted in a still more balanced presentation. This taught me a lesson in interpreting the "sensitivity" spec of a loudspeaker........
Thiel 2.3's Power Hungry??
Every time I add more POWER to these they sound a little better. They open up and sound smoother. Has anyone had the same experience? How much power has any one thrown at the speakers untill you were satisfied?
