PrimaLuna amp good match for Thiel CS 2.3?

^As the link suggests, not the best match for the Thiel 2.3's. Many of Krell's separate power amps would be a much better match. If you want to add tubes, I suggest doing it upstream from the amp.

Assume the CAV-150 would be even better, as it is 6 x 150 with bridging ability? 

(((Surprisingly, a Rogue Atlas Magnum II was not in the same ballpark)))

 That's cause you would of had to open it up and install the output to the 4-ohm taps to get it close to working well.

 I agree that Thiels are better off with Solid state electronic amps.
 If you enjoy Phase and time, correct speakers, like Thiels you may also wish to include Vandersteen 2 and 3 series ,Treo's.and Quatros
 to your list as these have a much easier impdence load on an amp and work great with Tube amps and solid state.
 Best,

JohnnyR - i believe you are correct re the 4 vs 8 ohm tap on the Rogue.  Shame on me for not asking, I went into the shop 45 min before closing on a Saturday, no excuse for the sales guy but I get it.  Guess I need to go back for another listen, or not, as advice and research has me leaning back toward solid state.  Sticking with the Thiels for now, trying to get them to sound their best before I think about moving on to other speakers.  Thanks for the advice!
