You wouldn't find a shortage of praise for these speakers, but thought I'll balance it out with one of the drawbacks. The speakers will reward you for using a good amp and punish you for using a crappy one.

I had a set of Polk's floorstanders for HT before I built my Theater-3. The Polks sounded pretty much the same with my Sony A/V reciever, tube amp, and gainclone. Plugged the Theatre-3 to the Sony A/V and the sound is tolerable at best. Powered by the gainclone or my tube amp, the speakers are very musical. But it sounds like you're one the right path for amp selection.
