mac and vac amps with thiel 3.6

Well, the 70/70 is way more expensive and way more powerful than the MC225 so I would hope you would like it better!

Garnetts - did you have the MA2275 in mind? I haven't heard it yet but am curious.

as has been pointed out before on the forum, Kevin Hayes voices and tests all his VAC products on the 3.6's he has at the VAC factory. i would say the VAC would be a safe bet with the Thiels.

I've owned Thiels and currently own a VAC PA 100/100. The VAC would be a good choice.

This isn't a perfect comparison but I used to have a pair of Thiel CS 2.3's connected to a MAC 6900 integrated and I thought it sounded great. I no longer have the Thiel's but I do still have the 6900. VAC makes great products too though...

Very helpful. I first heard the Thiels with ar hybrid amp and bought them. Afraid of tubes so bailed out to transistors and have listened to them with very expensive amps not to be impressed. Thanks for feedback on tubes.Have heard only the vac avatar not the latest super model with other speakers and loved the very "liquid" midrange. Please continue
