In Reply to: Low power = bad matches for CS2.4 posted by AbeCollins on November 17, 2023 at 06:52:47:
Christmas 1996. The Thiel CS.5 was driven by a Classe' CA-100. For the same price, we should have gotten, as an example, the Sonus Faber Concertino + Stand Fixed.
Christmas 1997. Thiel CS1.5 was driven by that same Classe' CA-100. Because of the crowded small room, and the stone wall behind the speakers, the Thiels had no chance. In this room, things got much better, when we replaced the CS1.5 with either ProAc Response One SC or Totem M1S.
In the background, you can see the Thiel CS2.4. I know we have photos somewhere, but we did try that CS2.4 with the low-powered Wright Sound WPA3.5 and Decware Taboo. Holy cow! Via a Simaudio Andromeda, we played the Thompson Twins' "Doctor! Doctor!" From the mid bass up, these two amps made the CS2.4 sound living, breathing alive ! Alas, these amps could not control the bass, at loud enough levels. But still, it was like turning the clock back to Spring 1984, and having the Thompson Twins give a private performance for my homeroom or PAL baseball team.
