Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4

I listened to both and fortunate that the dealer had a close out pair of the 2.3s and the 2.4s were better in every way....except the price. But as the dealer said to me "I need to put these in seperate rooms or the 2.3s will never sell" . But last time I was in they had sold and he din't have a pair of the 2.4s at the time.

2.3 are terrible loudspeakers, pathetic in everyway except for the reputation of the company that made them....and the looks I guess.

The 2.4 is more inline with the Thiel reputation in performance and for me refreshingly good. Other than maybe the 7.2 which is still mediocre at best for the money, the 2.4 is the only Thiel since the 3.6 that I could look a client in the eye and know I would be sending him/her home with a good speaker with no real caveats to that statement.

A harsh assessment I know, but its your money.

Cinematic_Systems,

Thiel 2.3s are "terrible" and "pathetic"??? You seem very much out of touch with the rest of the audio world where this speaker has gotten rave reviews. No speaker is a perfect fit for every listener but to label it so makes one suspect you ability to hear. The 2.4 is nearly the same speaker as the 2.3 and you think it is much better? Bet you hear cable sound as well. But with a handle like "cinematic_systems" I would guess that accurate audio is not really your thing.

The 2.4 is not "nearly the same speaker" as the 2.3. It's way, way better.
