Revel Studio2, Thiel 3.7 or Wilson Sophia 2

Ritmo, try listening to this pairing: Thiel CS3.7 with Parasound Halo JC2 pre/JC2 power (800Wpc into 4 ohms). I heard them last week and was quite impressed by them. They definitely made a much greater impression on me than the Wilson Sasha + ARC Ref 3 pre/110 power setup which I also auditioned. Plus it's great value for the money.

All are great speakers based on jazz music and your equipment-my suggestions are these
1) Thiel 2)Wilsons 3) Revel

Now I just have to find store where I can audition the Thiel's.

Step 1 done - bought the Oppo SE with Kimber Hero cables. The improvements have been significant. This player is as good as many have commented - fantastic.

Next up, speakers. Still considering Thiel 3.7's, Revel Studio 2's or Wilson Sophia 2's.

I haven't heard the Sophia 2. Between the Thiel 3.7 and the Revel Studio2, it's the Studio2 hands down. Properly set up the Studios throw an incredible image, and the highs are much better than those of the 3.7. For some reason on these forums the Revel Ultimas are never highly recommended, but to my ears they sound more like the real thing than almost anything else I've heard. Your Anthem equipment should do just fine.
