Thiel 1.6 vs 2.3 vs 3.6

I'm looking to get a pair of Thiel's, and I've really liked what I've auditioned. Given my budget, I'm considering 1.6's, 2.3's and 3.6's. I'm going to put them in my living room (14x18, hardwood floors - 14x29 counting the semi-attached dining room), and I'm driving them with an Adcom GFA 555-II amp from a Adcom GFP 565 preamp.

Any comments or suggestions?

No offense but get rid of that preamp immediately!
I owned the 565 around 1990 and switching to a Classe 6 was like removing earmuffs!
Your amp is probably O.K. but pick up a used Audio Research SP-9 or LS-9.
Try it -You'll like it!
