Wrong speakers

Unwittingly , reversed the method for putting a system together.
Glad to have the Einstein power amp along with a Wadia
The mistake I made was to buy thiel
3.6 .
Researching this after the fact, I realize that the thiels only blossom with strong current.
So, will replace them with speakers that suit the Einstein.
Cruising the forums here , The best or most popular, desired etc
Seem to be, mbl, ohmm, sonus faber, possibly Tannoy as well.
Asking for help in choosing a used speaker for under $15K
Thanks as I find these forums really usefull

You may be right , was reading up on these , they have many pluses
Do you think the 15" driver is the essential element with the tannoys
Is there any other reason to use them with a tube amp?

I replied to unsound just now, would really like to see how much juice the Einsteins have to give
Right now , im looking at the merlin vsm or tannoys
If tannoys ill have to wait fir a good pair with 15" drivers to show up
This is based on the input so far both these units seem like good soeakers
Not sure if they are great speakers, i guess thats the holy grail

They may be
WhT they have in common from the stuff Ive learned here though,
Is they both work best with tube amps.
They are two way , which some people claim is superior to three way,
Both have a loyal following , and are considered highly,
The used gear sells for similar prices, other than Tannoy flagship
