One of the Luxman or Plinius integrated amps.
Help me select an integrated amp for Thiel CS3.6 speakers
Room is 25 x 25 and fully carpeted. The speakers are in the corners - this cannot be changed.
Looking for suggestions for an integrated amp that will work well with this speaker. Looking to spend around $2500 but will go to $4000 if it makes sense to do so. This obviously removes the higher end Pass, Luxman, Levinson etc from the discussion.
Two on my radar are:
1) Rotel RA-1592
2) Parasound Hint 6.
They both have plenty of watts and bluetooth for apple/tidal/ connectivity. My source will be streaming or buying a streamer at some point.
I am planning on buying without being able to audition unfortunately.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

epz OP These 86db Thiel’s are a hard load and deserve amps that can almost keep doubling their 8ohm wattage’s to 4ohms and again to 2ohms to get the best out of them forget tube or class-d. Suggest you look at Gryphon Diablo 120 or the bigger 300 and amp that can do what they do in wattage doubling,and remain comfortable all day at 2ohms loading Stereophile tested results: https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/Cs36fig1.jpg Cheers George |
