Theil 3.5's...Tubes or SS? Just bought a used pair
The 3.5's are 89db sensitivity.I drive mine with an Electrocompaniet AW-75Its 75wpc/8ohm 145/4ohm and ~200/2ohm Its has 30 amps per side and peaks at ~80 amps.This amp and 3.5's make a great combo.The AW-75 sounds like tubes with balls. 
RCA 5670's anyone familiar?
Follow up:I scored some NOS RCA matched pair of 5670's from the tube store.Cheap too! $8 each and $10 to match them!They sound real nice even with low hours.Smooth with no harshness or brightness like the Chinese tubes they replaced.

Ariston RD11
might want to sell it 'as is' on eBay.Most likely you will get a fair price.I think you're time with the 11 should end.
