I owned the CS6 for about 10 years and when I decided I wanted a different sound, I bought the Harbeth M40.1. I've had my 40.1 speakers for over 4 years and I have no desire to change.
dweller, Your post is one of most insightful tomes I've read on A'gon . We think we control our brain , it controls us . Its always looking for a "home" stasis down where things are "resonating with my auditory subconscious " .
I wouldn't say that I upgraded from Thiel but I would say that I augmented my available speakers by buying a big pair of active ATCs. They don't make me like my Thiels any less but they do some things that the Thiels wont, like play very loudly. They are a bit more satisfying on large scale orchestra or meaty hard rock than the Thiels. The Thiels are better with small scale stuff and at lower volumes.
