Use the Genesis speakers! Thiels, even the small ones, have very nasty dips in their impedance curves. That's not the sort of thing to connect to a refurbed Grommes amp.

JMO, Thiels work best when fed by tubed preamplification and very high quality SS power amplification. The impedance characteristics of Thiel speakers make them bad choices for mating to mass market SS and most tube equipment.

I would mate little Thiels to a H/K Cit. 2 in good repair, on the 4 Ω taps. However, even the outstanding "Deuce" should not be mated to big Theils. Big Thiels dip down to 1 Ω, perhaps a tad lower. :>((
