Pass Int-250 is a perfect match for CS 3.7s juste like the Diablo 300.

I would avoid Spectral with 3.7s, not a very good match.Hegel H30 is awsome paired with 3.7s, a used Gryphon Diablo 300 is also a great alternative. 
How many people here generally buy used?
Speakers is usually worth buying used because you can afford a much higher end model at half price if you are patient.Also speaker tend to last very long so it's a very good investment.I got my Thiel CS 3.7s half price at the time.On the other han...

@jafant  Yes i like the Dag build quality, sound is phenomanal, very refined and a little warm just what we need for Thiel speakers.Also Dag is knowned for it's power delivery doubling all the way down to 2 ohms.I can see driving the Dad S250 dire... 
Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think?
If you really want to know how Borresens can really sing you need a no compromise high current and very musical amp, something like Dagostino Momentum S250 is a good example.

If i ever decide to get a pair of 3.7s again i'll most likely try to find a demo Dagostino Momentum S250 stereo amp to drive them. 
Why don’t tube amps sound like tubes anymore?
Aries Cerat is a modern brand that does still sound like real tubes.A haven't heard better in today's tube gear.

Jafant Ayre AX-5 Twenty is a great match for your 2.4SE, very musical and refined integrated.Hope you can put this system together very soon.

KR Audio Kronzilla VA680i anyone ?

KR Audio Kronzilla VA680i anyone ?
Well i have this crazy project in mind.I would like to drive Hifiman Susvara and Abyss 1266 TC headphones directly from speaker taps of a Kronzilla amp.You might think i'm crazy but i can asure you it's the ultimate headphone experience when you d... 
SET the best?
The only people i know who let down long term SET went CH Precision solid state class AB and never looked back. 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
If money is no object i would vote for Audionet Heisenberg monoblocks. 
Best of compact audio systems
Best integrated amp at any price today is the Audionet Humboldt, i have auditioned it against other contenders like the Vitus SIA-030, CH Precision I1 and others. 
Ultimate Integrated amps
I have auditioned most integrated mentioned here and the new king of integrated IMO is the Audionet Humboldt sharing first place with d'Agostino Momentum.Obviously just my opinion.
