My Thiel CS2.4 are three-way rated at 4 Ohm nom. (3.0 Ohm min.) and 87dB sensitivity.
I'm hearing outstanding results with the Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated amp with KT120 tubes (about 100wpc). The Rogue Atlas Magnum is essentially the same amp w/o the preamp section in the Cronus integrated.
For a pair of larger monoblock amps, I would seriously consider a pair of Rogue M-180s with KT120 tubes. MSRP $5800
The relatively small Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated with KT120 tubes is doing a surprisingly nice job with my less than efficient Thiel speakers. If I weren't down sizing my system to minimize clutter, I would seek out a pair of used Rogue M-180 monoblocks. There was a pair up on Audiogon a couple weeks ago for $3700.
