Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners

I am searching for the right amp for these speakers and was hoping to hear from as many 3.7 owners as possible regarding what amp you are using, why you like it and which ones you have not liked. Thanks in advance for your help with my quest..

Thanks Richardyc. I agree that the 3.7's are far from bright. They're simply
the most truthful speakers I've ever heard. Ever so occasionally, the truth
can hurt.;-)

I've wondered how the Krell 402 might sound. Would be able to describe
the Krell's character a bit as you hear it?

Jake3tg,

I wish I could afford to own and operate something like the ARC 250's, but alas, they are beyond my reach. Ditto the big VTL's. Bob Carver's Black Beauties might make it down to my neighborhood one day.

Mark Levinson amps works really well with Thiel's. My ML334 and my CS2.4's can really sound magical. I've heard that amp on a pair of 3.7's as well and amazing doesn't even start of cut it...

Other amp that I've heard with 3.7's were a pair of McIntosh MC1.2kW's. Really, really nice, but oh so expensive.

Vhiner -- he runs direct to the Parasounds from a Metric Halo DAC, which has analog volume control.
