The question more should be which sound signature do you prefer. The Thiels do a good job of reproducing what is given them; I can't imagine them not sounding terrific with either of those amplifiers. Any way you could audition those amps to see if one has a sound you prefer over the other?

I'd suggest a minimum of 400 Watts into 2 Ohms, and depending on your room and desired listening levels, twice or more than that might be more appropriate. I think you'll find that many of even the more respected manufacturers integrated amps are incapable of doubling down and down again into 2 Ohm loads. https://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs37-loudspeaker-specifications https://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs37-loudspeaker-measurements |
