Thiel 1.6 vs 2.3 vs 3.6

I'm looking to get a pair of Thiel's, and I've really liked what I've auditioned. Given my budget, I'm considering 1.6's, 2.3's and 3.6's. I'm going to put them in my living room (14x18, hardwood floors - 14x29 counting the semi-attached dining room), and I'm driving them with an Adcom GFA 555-II amp from a Adcom GFP 565 preamp.

Any comments or suggestions?

They are all great, and they would all work in your room. The 3.6's are a great value currently, and will likely be replaced by a new model soon. What's your gut feeling after listening to them?

I love my 3.6's and highly recommend them. It is a shame, however; that you can't drive them with better electronics and realize their full potential.They are truly an amazing speaker given their cost

Let your ears judge which is best. But I don't know about mating any of these with you amp. Be sure to audition them together. Even if it means taking your amp to the dealer.
