Naim vs Audio Aero
go with Naim more tube like sound 
Most important component??
source 
Diff. between "monitor" & "full range" speaker?
Full range goes down low on bass monitors do not. 
Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best?
something with lots of power 
I am interested in upgrading my late 80's system?
Start with source, then amplification, keep the speakers if you like them. 
Inexpensive integrated to drive Klipsch
also look at Naim nait, used with Cornwalls very good sound 
SF Cremona Auditors - Recommend new Amp/CD
try Naim CDX2 with mid level electronics[282 above] well regarded 
Naim 62/90 versus 112/150
the 150 has more power, grip and control. the 62/90 may be a bit sweeter. 
What CD Player can top this
naim cdx2 
'90's gear
with quality gear like yours, you can always get it recapped and modernized to as new spec. 
Who still repairs Naim Nait 1 integrateds?
check on Naim internet site, at least two sources for repair in US. 
Horn Speakers
Klipsch reference series are good, look at older Cornwalls, heresy or belle klipsch. May be prone to hum since they are so efficient. 
Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?
try naim naca 5 very reasonable and musical. 
Componets first, cables second?
Source first always. 
Small Floor Stander or Monitor For Large Room
Joseph audio or Proac might be the ticket.
