Levinson No. 23 with Thiel 3.6?

How much power does the Levinson 23 put out? What kind of music do you listen to and how big is your listening room? Also how acoustically live is your room? How loud do you listen to music?

I drive a pair of 3.6's with a conrad johnson ss MF2500A (240w/ch) in a room that is about 18'x24' with a 15'cathedral ceiling and is moderate in its acoustical dampening. I listen to classical pieces (symphonic/orchestral) some chamber music and female jazz vocals at moderate to high levels and find the amp has no problem driving them.

I used a Levinson 23 with Thiel 3.5's several years ago.
I never could tame brightness or harshness in the system,
which I think was due more to the speakers than the amp.
The #23 is a fairly neutral solid state amp (some say
"dark" but I did not find that to be the case). Thiels
tend toward brightness and require careful amp matching.
They also require lots of power to sound their best. I might
consider a high powered tube amp.

Chuck,

The Levinson is 200 w/ch @ 8 ohms and 400 @ 4 ohms. I don't see a 2 ohm rating, but it seems to me I've read somewhere that it will do 700 or 800 watts at 2 ohms - could be mistaken though on the 2-ohm stuff.

My room is about 12' x 20' with 8' ceiling. I would say the room is perhaps slightly live - plaster walls and ceiling, carpeted floor and some heavy drapes on two wall.

Music is for the most part A-Z. What I listen to depends largely on my mood at the time. Mostly I would be listening to these speakers at moderate levels, with an occasional foray into the loud side (+100 db). I have (pardon my language) some Cerwin-Vega D9's (101 db/watt) left over from my earlier days that I fire up if I really want to crank it.

Not really looking for loud, more looking for the details, soundstage, imaging, etc.

A nice high powered VTL tube amp with enough power in triode mode...
