Spear11, you made an outstanding choice as it is clear that accuracy of timbre is valuable to you. Congratulations! The above recommendations from fellow audiogoners are right on and you will have great results with all of their suggestions. If possible, please try to home demo the amp with your Thiels before purchasing. A good audio shop will be more than happy to arrange for this. I power CS6s with a Krell 400cx amp but have heard Thiels sounding great with cj and Rogue tube amps, as well as Levinson, McCormick, Rowland. Even a Bryston 3BST or 4BST, Parasound JC1, Musical Fidelity or similar amp will work very well, provided they have at least 100 WPC and your room is not too large; if the amp can double output into 4 OHms vs. 8 Ohms, then this is ideal. Give 'em juice (i.e. current) to spare and they will respond with sweetness in the mids, full bass and delicate, not etched, air.
Please let us know what you decide on, why and how it is working out.
No, I don't work for Thiel but sometimes wish I did.
Cheers, Steve
