Need advice/opinion in choosing Vandy 2ci or Thiel 1.5

Thanks for all the great advices and all seems to steer me to the Vandys' direction which I don't think we can go wrong. I may miss some transparency from the Thiel's but it could be a big gain for my son based on his preferred choice of music and vinyl.
@unsound, @audionoobie are correct, my small room will be overwhelmed by the 2Cx sizes.
jenney1 @unsound I'm thinking about the new 1Ci's as they may suit my room well thanks for the tip. I'm also glad to know Thiel still have service center to support their fans worldwide...

I don't think my son will move out anytime soon but he can take the system and run if he decides to part 

Happy Listening!

+1 for the Vandys! Love my 2Cs

You are sort of getting a confirmation bias group… where all the Vandy owners say that the Vandys are great…  one should be mindful that the group has a high degree of bias, irregardless of the fact that they are probably right.

Maybe but I sold my Vandys and replaced them with Thiels at twice the price. I liked the Vandys better. Considering Thiels mate well with a narrower range of electronics and they're out-of-business, I couldn't recommend Thiels in 2021 to any but the most committed of audiophools, even though they sound great in a right rig.

to the point made by @holmz

i have personally had thiel 1.5s and 2.2s in the past, (in addition to hearing a very close friend’s system with 3.6’s many many times with different amps) and i currently have vandy 3a sigs (among other speakers)

so while i may fit into the theory of confirmation bias in favor of vandy’s, i would say that my preference for vandy’s and the sound they present is not developed without ample experience to thiels as an alternative

both are well respected brands with illustrious histories but the longstanding vandy sound is more natural and musical to me, less overtly detailed, lean and ’hifi’ sounding - obviously the choice of ancillaries matter in using either brand
