Best amp choice for Thiel 2.4

Hello guys,

I just bought from an audiogoner a Pass X1 preamp and I'm really satisfied about its performances.
Now I'm using it with my old Odyssey Stratos Plus on the Thiel 2.4 loudspeakers
Even if the Odyssey is a good amp I want to improve the amp quality and I thought to Pass X250.5/350.5 but here on the amp solid classifieds there are some other choices maybe as good as the Pass amps
I'm meaning about Classe CA M400 monos or Ayre V-1xe and a Mark Levinson 336 and some others..
What do you think about the perfect choice considering the Thiel 2.4?

Thanks in advance to all your opinions about

I have heard the 2.4s with the V-1XE and the sound is great. I preferred the Ayre amp to both the 350.5 and the 600 monoblocks with my 7.2s. However it didnt have enough power for my Thiels.
It does have enough for the 2.4s.
I have heard several amps with your speakers and the Ayre was my favorite.
All that said, when I put Krell FPB amps with my 7.2s I was done looking for amps. I would think the same would be with your Thiels. (although I have not heard them together)
