I just heard both an Intrepid and a pair of Theta Enterprise monoblocks with my Thiel CS3.6's. Needless to say, I am very impressed. The Theta hype is real. The Enterprises did everything that you would expect amps at their price to do, and had a very sweet, musical sound. The Intrepid really blew me away, though. I cannot see how a 5-channel, 100watt amp, especially at its price point, can drive a difficult speaker like the 3.6's so well. It captured much of the overall sound of the Enterprises, but without the level of detail, control, imaging and soundstage that the Enterprises offer. I would think that a Dreadnaught II would be killer as well.
So, it sounds like we may be in similar boats. I bought the Intrepid, and I am now trying to decide between a two-channel Dreadnaught II or a pair of Enterprises. Decisions, decisions...
