Levinson No. 23 with Thiel 3.6?

Considering some different speakers, perhaps Thiel 3.6. My understanding is that they are hard to drive, so, before I even go listen, will (could?) my Levinson 23 a suitable match to the 3.6's?

Thanks for you input.

I never could tame brightness or harshness in the system, which I think was due more to the speakers than the amp. The #23 is a fairly neutral solid state amp (some say "dark" but I did not find that to be the case). Thiels tend toward brightness and require careful amp matching. They also require lots of power to sound their best. I might consider a high powered tube amp.
