Better amplification for Thiel CS 1.5

A friend of mine sold me some Thiel CS 1.5 speakers earlier this summer (quite an improvement over my Infinity Reference speakers), and has started me down the audiophile path. I am currently running them with a Kenwood VR-407 5.1 receiver (5 X 100 w/ch @ 8 ohms), but I know these speakers can produce a better sound. I don't have very much money. Any recomendations would be welcome (I'd like to get Krell, Classe, or Rotel).

Hi Jakeb3

I agree with Glen above, I had a pair of Thiel 1.5's and I used an ARC PS15 pre-amp along with the ARC D-130 and they performed very well. What you do have to be careful of however, is your CD player. These speakers will reveal everything so be very careful of you selection here. A good tube unit may be a good decision.
