The EQ's have a reputation for needing periodic maintainance. I've never had trouble with mine. I've sent mine in "just in case", no problems found. If it's hiss, are you sure, it's not the tweeters? The tweeters are not particularly delicate, but due to the ultimate loudness capability of the 3.5's, some previous owners might have to pushed the speakers beyond their amplifiers capability. Do keep any ear out for the midrange drivers, as they are a bit delicate. More importantly, I think you'll find Thiels customer service second to none.
Which amp to match Thiel 3.5 - Ayre, Bryston, CJ?
I am looking for insights for you guys for my next potential project.
I am considering a CJ 2200, or a bryston 4B-ST, Bedini 250/250 or a comparable Ayre such as the V3.
The reason for my latest craze is that i might acquire a set of Thiel CS 3.5 speakers and the above amps (all around 200 W in 8 ohms and high current) would be a good match for the speakers.
Any and every opinion is more than welcome, but please keep them directed on the compariosn between the amps or your personal experience with any of the above.
I will not be offended if someone suggest Adcom or other brands, but it would be more valuable for me if I could get insights regarding my original question.
Thanks in advance for the help.
