I presently use an Ayre VX-5 Twenty power amp with my Thiel CS2.4 and it has excellent synergy in my system. I recommend you consider the Ayre AX-5 twenty integrated as a match for the CS3.7
Int Amp for Thiel CS 3.7
I need some advice on choosing the right Int amp to drive a pair of Thiel CS 3.7
Here are some that i can think of : Hegel H360, Modwright KWI 200 SE, Karan KA-I 180 MK2 and others.

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 |
^ thieliste, I haven't seen anything to support that. If you have, please share. The Pass Labs website's spec sheet doesn't provided a 4 or 2 Ohm spec. As much as I am a fan of Nelson Pass's work, Stereophile's measurements have been finding the Pass Labs wanting in this area.: https://www.passlabs.com/amplifier/int-250 https://www.stereophile.com/content/pass-labs-int-150-integrated-amplifier-measurements https://www.stereophile.com/content/pass-laboratories-int-60-integrated-amplifier-measurements |
