Would a Pass Aleph 5 be able to drive Thiel 3.5 ?

I have a Threshold FET-10e pre-amp and a pair of Thiel 3.5 speakers. Currently, I am using a Bryston 3B-ST. My source is mostly CD based using a Esoteric P-500 transport and a PS Audio Ultralink II. I plan to purchase a Pass Aleph 5 to replace the Bryston. Would this be a good idea ? Would I get any improvement ? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As a current owner of Thiel 3.5s; I would agree with Unsound's remarks. The 3.5s DO sound better when they have a higher powered amp to drive them. A Bryston 4BST would be an excellent choice. I'm a McIntosh fan - so I'm driving mine with an MC150 amp right now - though I'm considering a
possible move up to a Mac 200 watt amp later this year.
