My Thiel CS2.4 are wonderful with the Manley Neo-Classic 250. These are 250wpc EL34 monoblocks. IMHO the Thiels require a decent amount of power. I still have them but they are in storage as I am using my Tannoy Definition D500 floor-standers. They allow me to use a wider variety of amps.
In the 1990's I ran my Thiel CS1.5 with Classe CA-200 and CA-300. The smaller CA-100 worked OK but the speakers came to life with the CA-200 and larger. My CJ Premier 11a didn't sound so great with the Thiel CS1.5 but the larger ARC VT-100mkII did a good job.
