Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 or McIntosh AMP


I currently have a McIntosh MC7150w (150wpc) that I am using with a pair of Thiel CS3.6 speakers.  I'm thinking of upgrading and trying to determine if I should spending $3-4k on a bigger amp or put the money towards a different set of speakers.  Any suggestions?

I have never owned the 3.6 but looking at there specs. Your going to need some serious tube pwr at least 100 watts to make them come alive.If I was using solid state I would want at least 200 to 250 watts and I'm not a headbanger by any means.
Offcourse that's just my opinion and your room size and preferences would dictate what you would prefer.

I had a set of the Janzen Valentina's for a short time that are only 87db efficient and they definitely needed some pwr to Sound their best,but in the end they didn't work out in my room and I sold them.
