Amp, On A Budget?
I wouldn't dream of recommending an amp for mystery speakers. Let's use the previously recommended B&K ST 140 as an example why: true it has the sound qualities suggested, but...it also is a very poor match with low impedance speakers. Unless...

Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers
Too bad they're going back to Ohm. I'll hazard a guess those fine Walsh drivers won't be appreciated too much longer. 
Please help with Spectron Musician Issue.
Kudos to Spectron for stepping up and doing the right thing.

Sell the original Ohm F's to someone one who can appreciate them and perhaps have them restored properly (not an easy undertaking). 
Choosing a Solid State Class A/B integrated amp
Jdoris, I was responding to your original post in this thread, which I think echoes Pass's rather confusing power ratings. I'd hazard a guess that the Class AB output is about 5 X it's class A output rating. Sure a bigger amp will accomplish more ... 
Choosing a Solid State Class A/B integrated amp
The Pass is a class AB integrated that touts it's 30 Watts of Class A output, it puts out considerably more Class AB Watts. 
Flat impedance curve?
You might find it that it might be a bit more complicated than that. It might be more beneficial to see a graph of the impedance, to see how and where the impedance varies. The phase angle can be just as important in considering amps for speakers.... 
Ohm Walsh 2000s vs Vandersteen 2Ces
Many prefer the original Ohms with true Walsh drivers over the new Ohms with different drivers.

Doggiehowser, My money is with my direct experience of over a decade with the the CS 2's without concentric drivers, rather than with your recollection of your friends CS 2.4's with concentric drivers, in an undersized space. Would you not exchang...

Well, that changes things quite a bit, still a tight fit, not quite ideal, but it can work. IME, the McCormack amps though very fine amps in their own right, and excellent with other speakers, are a bit too forward and shouty with the Thiel CS 2's...

I get it, this is Audiogon; sell them, and get appropriate speakers for the room.

Thanks for reminding me, yes, the Thiels should to be at least 8' apart from each other as well. Ideally they would be 10' apart from each other, 10' from the listener, >5' from the side walls and >3' from the wall behind the speakers. Thie...

One needs to sit at least 8' from the speakers. The speakers need to be at least 1' from the walls and at least 3' from the corners. The room has to be able to accommodate greater than 40 Hz bass extension.IME, the Thiel CS 2's ported bass is a bi...
