I am considering to buy the Thiel CS1.6 so would like
some opinions. I listened to them at a shop which
hooks up the Thiel CS1.6 to AVI Lab Seris Integrated
amp. I felt that CS1.6 sounded real good and had a
decent bass even though it's 2-way. However, I find
that some music can get a bit bright.

1) What is a good pairing of an integrated amp with
CS1.6? Is AVI a good choice?

2) I am also considering the B&W 804 (but using the
Arcam A80). With these 2 pairings, which speakers
should I be considering?

3) Before I set my mind of Thiel and B&W, with the
similar price range, are there any other speakers that
I can consider?


Thiel's are time and phase coherent so they mate well
with amps which sound "coherent".

Magical thinking at its best, Harry. Bravo.

C'mon! Who wants an incoherent amp?

Some of the switchmode amps and tubed that the golden ears go ga-ga over can
be pretty close to being incoherent.
