Opera Consanance M800 Tube Monoblocks, Staight Wire Maestro speaker cables. Opera Consanance Reference 1.1 preamp. Siltec 4-56 interconnects. Had a AR Classic 60 and Audible Illusions M3a preamp. The Consanance equipment brought my system to another level. Much more detailed.

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:
