Hi Red,
I was a long time Thiel CS3.6 owner. One of my most favorite speakers of all time. I had them in a 19x13x8 room which is only slightly larger than yours firing from the short wall. They need space from the rear wall and side walls but nothing out of the ordinary for this hobby. Your amps are on par with many amps I had used with the CS3.6(Krell KSA-80, KMA-160, MDA-300 and MDA-500, also used BAT VK-200 & VK-3i which did a marvelous job in that room. Sonic Frontiers was ok but 3i killed in synergy.)

With the kind of power you have and I used with the CS3.6 they where more than excellent at low volumes and damn startling at medium and higher volumes. Therefore I would like to throw the CS3.6 hat in the ring as an alternative to the 200 lb. CS6. The CS3.6 weighed in at 110 lbs. Still heavy but manageable. Used pricing $1400 - $2000
