Experience with Thiel 1.6

Do any of you have personal experience with the new Thiel 1.6, or have heard anything about their sound quality? I've owned 1.2's and 1.5's (and 2.3, 3.6....) and am curious as to these new small ones.
thanks,
Art

I'm also a 1.5 and 2.3 owner, so I'm equally curious. Unfortunately, the 1.6s I saw were not hooked up, and it was near closing time, so I didn't get to hear them. Coming from Jum Thiel, I don't see how they could be anything but an improvement.

This one is "an instant classic" in their words. Hmmm. I guess 1/6 of the price is a pretty good reason to be significantly more impressed, but it just seemed a bit over the top in its praise. -Kirk
