Have you considered running a powered sub and limiting the signal to the Thiels? I have the Thiel PCS speakers, which are basically the top end of the 2.3/2.4's, with a powered-Sub, all driven by an ARC VS-55 (puts out about 45-watts a side) that gives me near concert level volume. Fyi, I use a pre-pro to handle the speaker setup.
btw, I would highly not recommend buying anything that you can't return based on internet reviews. I have been utterly destroyed by that in the past. It's pretty amazing how erudite some def people can be!
