Better amplification for Thiel CS 1.5

A friend of mine sold me some Thiel CS 1.5 speakers earlier this summer (quite an improvement over my Infinity Reference speakers), and has started me down the audiophile path. I am currently running them with a Kenwood VR-407 5.1 receiver (5 X 100 w/ch @ 8 ohms), but I know these speakers can produce a better sound. I don't have very much money. Any recomendations would be welcome (I'd like to get Krell, Classe, or Rotel).

Jayctoy,

I have been looking at Odyssey, nice gear.

Emil,

I did see that one, I look at the classifieds several times per day. I love to drool. That one does look close to my price range.

Unsound,

Currently I do not have a budget. I am purely doing some research. After the research, I will begin auditioning some equiptment. I will be getting a couple hundred bucks soon that I can save towards a purchase. I am probably going for the best pairing, over a quick fix. Although it would be nice to have something soon. Ultimately I am trying to satisfy my ears, and my soul. I guess I am looking for past pairings that have brought out the detail that these speakers are capable of. I love to drool, but I must be realistic also. I have Halcro taste on a Kenwood budget. I am willing to save if the investment is really worth it.

Ok then. I'd suggest the Pass X150 or Krell KMA 160B's.

when my speakers are mating with my krell amp they make funny squeaky noises. I don't know if this is normal but it kinda makes me feel funny like when I used to climb the rope in gym class.
