I love the Thiels but they are large floor standers and cost a pretty penny. (Though I picked up a mint pair for about the price of a pair of M60s) The beauty of the Michauras and the M3s is how great they are and how reasonably priced.
I don't think my 5 wpc SET amp would not get the thiel drivers moving though I never tried it.
