Adcom GTP-500ii, the amp will be power Thiel cs 1.6. The Pre Amp and Speakers will not be replaced.

 Thiel cs 1.6 they’re not the easiest to drive, especially around the 100-200hz area,

you still need a good gutsy amp.

I suggest a used John Curl designed Halo A23 $600-$2K

Or if you can afford the bigger A21 $1k to $3k

They started making these back in 2003 hence the price spread,
these will drive those speakers effortlessly.
