classe ca-300 or bryston 4b sst for thiel 2.4

i am currently running my thiel 2.4 with a classe ca-300 amp, but i am not 100% happy. i am getting a 4bsst for a bargain price. which amp is a better match with thiel??
my other equipment is sonic frontiers line 1 preamp, classe cdp cd player and acoustic zen cables.
i am looking for more bass and not to bright highs.
thanks in advance

I always felt the Bryston amps were a little edgy or harsh. Well built and designed to last, but not overly musical. I have only heard one Classe' and liked it.
What is it you don't like about the sound your getting?
Have you thought about a change of cables? Might be a better place to start.

i agree with theo. go with the classe. it is a much warmer sounding amp. thiel's in my opinion tend to be on the more bright side and i think the bryston would make it even more bright sounding.

Get a pair of Aragon Palladium monoblocks. The mids & highs sound like tubes (with 100+ watts in pure class A), have great bass control, project a nice soundstage, and can easily drive 2 ohms.
