Power for Thiel 7.2

I can't say about your choices but I am using a McIntosh MC 602 and that has served me very well... My experience is that high current is as important as high wattage the speakers seem to open up at 200 watts or so but they need reserve to really put the numbers up , best wishes John

may I suggest the sa1000 from www.RedDragonAudio.com

For Thiels power is not the issue. It's damping factor that matters most. 200-400 wpc into 8ohms is adequate.

you might consider the McCormack DNA-500. this is one of the few amps that can make the 7.2s sing.

I had the Thiel 7's which I think were harder to drive than the 7.2"s and I used 1 Classe 300 and the Thiels sounded great!! I have owned 5 different sets of Thiels and STRONGLY recommend Classe with them. You mite have noticed that at alot of shows you will find a combo of Thiel, Classe and MIT cables. It is true that with Thiel, the more power the better but I would, without a doubt pick Classe over Krell. I think Krell is over priced and to "Dark" for Thiels. Good Luck, the 7.2 is an excellent speaker and Thiel is the best company I have ever delt with!
