Nice setup you have there!
I have the main tower speakers - my Thiel CS2.4. I may want subs at some point and possibly a center channel. The back wall is pre-wired for rear speakers. If I go for 5.1 surround, I'll need an AV receiver or a processor with more amps. Not sure what to do yet as I haven't fully thought it out, but the stop gap measure will be 2-channel stereo only or a soundbar.
My main goal is 2-channel audio for my music, and then a way to integrate easily with the TV but keeping it simple enough for my wife. She doesn't like dealing with multiple components. She needs to turn the TV ON and have everything functioning properly.
I'm leaning toward SVS for the subs.

Abe-
Nice pics! Which brand(s) of gear are you considering around the CS 2.4 loudspeakers? I am looking forward to your next System.
I have a Rogue Cronus Magnum tube integrated amp in storage and my Yamaha A-S1100 solid-state integrated amp in my office at the moment. I'll start with these, and possibly upgrade later. The 100wpc Rogue does a surprisingly decent job with the Thiels. The Yamaha does too but I think I prefer the Rogue. It's been a while since I've had the Thiels in a decent sized room so I'll have to experiment again.
Very nice- Abe,
my 1st CS 2.4 demo featured a Creek 5350 integrated amp and NAD 565 cd player w/ Audioquest cables/cords. I must say that the Creek held its own. I played the music as loud as I wanted w/o clipping. Full presentation, sound and synergy in effect.
The year was 2012. Soundscape in Baltimore MD. I was struck by lightning that Spring day.
2 years later, I would be struck by lightning a second time, auditioning a sweet pair of CS 2.4SE loudspeakers. Audio Excellence in Raleigh NC.
The system featured an Anthem 225 integrated amp and Cary DVD7 or DVD8 spinner. Audioquest cables/cords. Equal synergy with more power via the Anthem. The CS 2.4SE is a touch more revealing than the stock 2.4
More inner detail and nuance, especially, with Jazz music.
Dual subs are nice, but one has worked out well for me. As for the AV, my Anthem, is connected to everything, and works very well, easy to switch between just stereo or various multi channel distribution. Also has a phone app called Playfi, that lets you play from a separate server and select from your music files and folders. Or setup playlists. Very versatile
