My mistake I thought it was a tube amp. 
I agree if it’s bright stay AWAY. been there done that. 

Right now I’m currently using an adcom 5800 just trying to stick with solid state amp and do a hybrid pre. Like I said the thiels need tons of current reserves and power. On the thiel thread they kind of say no tube amps. Unless you’re getting those incredibly huge expensive ones.

 I would do a search of peoples systems for Thiel. See what other people are using to drive them. There is also a Thiel tread, you can ask for suggestions. jafant is a nice guy and I am sure he can help. You want to find an amp that is a good match for your speakers. System synergy is very important.

A lot of them are using amps that are out of my price range to get. I’m in the thread. I’m only 22.

Thiels are known to be a little thin sounding. I'd put a nice juicy sounding amp on that loudspeaker. Parasound A21 or one of many tube amps (Not ARC).
