Experience with Thiel 1.6

I do not own them, but have listened to them extensively in a wonderful showroom. I have the CS 1.5s and loved them, but am now ready for something new. The Revel M 20s won out, for me, quite easily. I did love the sound of the 1.6s. Again, it's a high class problem. Splitting hairs really, but the Revels have done it for me.

The revel m20s are great, and I agree that we're splitting hairs at this point, but in my case there were three things going against them:

1) they did not fit in visually
2) my favorite, ever patient dealer doesn't carry them, and I'm very loyal
3) I paid two visits to another dealer to hear them, and they refused to play them without a subwoofer on both visits. My simple request - could you turn off the sub, or turn it down was met with a "how dare you" look. The bass was good though.

I've mentioned before that on some days I'll prefer say B&W to revel (or thiel) or vice versa, but it's fun

Robertd - the important thing is that you made a purchase that YOU are hapopy with. If it's compelling you to want to listen to music all day, it's a good purchase!

I wanted to re-vitalized this thread (if possible),
any of you 1.6 owners upgrading to the new CS1.7 ?
