Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4

I have a pair of 1.6's and they keep sounding better as I get more playing time on them... however, after having them for only 4 months, all I can think about is getting 2.4's. TAS in their December '04 issue, rates them a best buy... I think the only other speakers I'd look at other than the Thiel 2.4 is either Von Schweikert VR4jr or Sonus Faber Grand Pianos (love the warmth and bass that lack from my 1.6's)...

If you get 2.4's, you might want to hang onto your 1.6's for a while before you sell them. I own 2.4's and, while they are very good, they did not turn out to be quite what I had hoped for, which was the 1.6 with more bass.

has anyone heard the ss1 yet? i have the cs1.6's and as drubin said i'd just like the 1.6 with more bass. i have a 22' x 15' listening room with downstairs neighbours (and suspended wooden floor) so whilst i don't want to p*ss them off to much, i want to make sure it's a worth while outlay.

Cine,

I know this is *way* off topic, but what hardware combinations did you prefer (and which ones sold best for you)?

This has been an interesting thread to follow.

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Just think the absolute opposite of your system and that's what we sold.

Back then My favorite 2 channel System was probably; but 2 channel is such a compromise

ML 32
Meridian 588
Warner Imaging ER300's
Dynaudio Temptations or Confidence 5's

My System at home

Was (7) Custom/Active 3 ways using the Seas Excel Fibreglass midbass and Aluminum 8" with Scan Speak 2509 tweeter.

Had a EAR864 with Meridian 565 and HW19MkIv with ET arm maxed on mods and a Pioneer LDS2/or CLD-D79 for a transport.

Warner Imaging amps and B&K amps & custom crossovers I built with some assistance from Warner Imaging.
