Sorry to hear the 801's didn't work out.
If you go with the ADS 1590's, amp match-up will have a big influence on sound. This was especially so with the ADS 1090's, 1290's and 1590's. The 1590's were available with ADS's own amps that would slide in back at the bottoms. They were okay, but you really needed loads of current. So you should be fine with your Threshold amp.
I have heard the Infinity IIB's with Threshold. Excellent match. I don't know what availability is like on the Infinity's now or how well they have withstood time. The EMIT drivers in particular.
Good luck with your search!
