Thank you Rtnl for your kind advice.
Have had my X250.5 for months now with fairly intense twigging.
Agree with you entirely. I think the weakest link for a pair of speakers like these is certainly the amps. Do plan to try either the 600.5 or the XA100 maybe in a few months.
Biggest improvement was a harmonic tech fantasy AC to tame the esoteric which perahps mated with the metal diaphragms of the Thiels were a bit bright sounding.
O, forgot, also changed to Synergy IIi in the meantime, and this is a much better mate with the X250.5.
I am reasonably happy right now with this combination. Need another power cord for the Synergy, currently using Zu Cable Mother PC.
Thus far, I must say the musicality from using Maggies previously is almost there (yes... hard to believe isn't it...). The Harmonic Tech pushed the highs, improved transients and squeezed even more air around instruments. I hardly listened to music loud and almost always run the X.5 in pure Class A power. But the well intentioned advice on this forum is much heeded and I guess Thiels do need all the juice you can throw at them. Gryphon Encore & XA100 & X600.5 are all the next affordable price range and will try them out hopefully xmas.
Many thanks again, happy listening
