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

I think you would like the Faulken Doshiers. New company out of Germany. Their floor models are stunning.

Have you considered a pair of Thiels? They always get good reviews. I can't see you going wrong with them.

Probably not the Einstein amps. We have had a room at the RMAF for many years. When I had time I would go into as many rooms as I could. My impression is that most speakers are way to bright. The trick is to look for those rare gems from smaller companies that don't mass produce and have a love of music.

You have good focus on your problem. I'm very sensitive to HF's myself. If the highs are not just right, I can't listen to the system. I can tell you from experience that if you try to fix this by just reading reviews and going by other people's opinions, your chance of success will be extremely small. Really, it will just be an accident if you happen to get it right. Nothing wrong with getting some opinions to point you in the right direction, but in the end, you'll need to verify the results for yourself.

You mention wanting to get the best sound from your amp. I agree. Its perfectly normal to want that. The only problem is that your amp will sound different in different systems. Sometimes the traits carry over from one system to the next, but quite often, they don't. There's so many factors at play, the easiest way is to just try it with other components. I'm not too familiar with your amp, but if it uses tubes and is not very powerful, it magnifies the problem. That's why I asked you to list some systems that you have liked in the past. That will at least give you a reference point so you can begin. If you don't know where you want to end up when you are done building your system, you probably won't be successful.
