2nd note;
a Threshold power amp is still an excellent choice. I would have the caps updated/replaced prior to any usage.

McCormack DNA-125 with Thiel 2.4. Good idea?
Hi everybody,
I recently aquired Thiel 2.4s and am liking them a lot, but naturally want even better sound. The Thiel tech I talked to on the phone suggested that my biggest potential improvement was to upgrade from my B&K Ref 2220 and suggested as the most affordable move a Bryston 4BSST or higher. This is out of my price range of $1500 (including the $600 I can probably get for my B&K). I've heard a lot of good things about McCormack and am thinking about making an offer on the DNA125 currently on the Gon,but have also heard that 2.4s need lots of watts and current. So, given that my room is fairly small 15x16x9 and my listening seat 10 feet from the speakers and my goal even more transparency, detail and bass than I have with the B&K, should I make an offer on the DNA 125? BTW the rest of my system is an Oppo BDP 83SE and a Jon Soderberg modded Threshold FET 9e pre.
Thanks in advance.
