Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7

Hi guys here's another new topic for crazy Thiel enthusiasts like me lol.
My question of the day is if you had a budget of 50K to drop in a pre-power combo to drive a pair of Thiel CS 3.7 what would be your top 3 favorite choices ?Here is what i have in mind at the moment : Ypsilon pre-power monos, KR Audio P135 + Kronzilla DX monos, and Aries Cerat Impera ll Ref + Concero 65 monos.All of these 3 pre-power combos can be purchased in Europe for just under 50K brand new.
Have a good day.

Can’t argue with your first point, but i’ve experienced sound adored by others that I couldn’t imagine why.
Perhaps the Cerats are the physics defying 65 Watt SETs unicorns that can handle the sub 2.5 Ohm impedance with challenging phase angle Thiel 3.7’s. But, I’d have to hear that for myself, and based upon past experience and current costs of these amps, I’m in no rush.

Perhaps on their own 101 dB horns (horns are not my cup of tea), but Thiel 3.7's? I haven't heard the combination, but I am dubious about the compatibility of 65 Watt SETs driving the Thiel 3.7's.

I'm in agreement with Georgehifi! With that said, I can't help but think you might be better off spending some of that money on a pair of Thiel SS3 subs. Use the balance of funds on some high quality amps that can handle the still demanding load of the Thiel 3.7's with much of the strain (though with extended bass response!) relieved by the self powered subs.
