Hi. I'm using a Bryston BP-20 with an old Bryston 4B amp that the factory did a nice number on for the previous owner. The 4B may be an older model, but it has plenty of punch. Source is a Cal Icon MKII that I scored on Audiogon for very little. It's a great setup. Mind boggling. I can't imagine that I could make a major improvement in the sound without spending a ton of money.
Thiel 3.6 owners - what components are you using?
Thiel 3.6 owners - what compenents are you using with your amp?
I use a Krell amp and Levinson pre-amp but always wonder what it would be like with other gear. I think the Krell's fast and forward sound works well with the Thiels. Gets them rockin'!
Wish my soundstage had a touch more cohesion and height, but then, trade-offs always exist and one must pick and choose the strengths in one's stereo. ... Or is this an issue of speaker positioning? I've worked hard to move my speakers around until they "disappeared".
What have your experiences have been with other amps and pre-amps for these speakers? Tube pre-amps?
Here are some threads covering similar ground:
