Help with upgrade

Hello,
I'm currently using B&W Matrix 804 Series II and am wanting to upgrade or try something different. The amp I'm using is a McCormack DNA1 Deluxe and Sony DVP9000ES for my front end. They will be used in a ht set up, however 2 channel is very important. Speakers I have been considering are Von Schweikert VR4, Thiel 3.6. I listen to many types of music NO rap thought. Any thoughts on these speakers or any others please give your comments.
Thanks
demar

I am not sure how much power the DNA 1 produces but to drive the Thiels appropriately you will need at least 250wpc and even more is recommended. I currently have 3.6's and I am driving them with a CJ premier 350 and I can tell you that they love horsepower. I upgraded from a CJ MF2500a and the 350 does a much better job especially in the lower registers. My musical tastes run primarily to classical and jazz (female jazz vocals). The Thiels will work with less power but to really get them to sing you need power.
