Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference

Jazzdude
Yes sir, it's me. I will always be greatfull for your advices. Thanks to you I got SIM W5 and absoloutly love it. I will check out the TACT RCS.
I would like to hear from people who switched from 2.3 to 2.4. I listened to 2.4 in dealers room and it sounded different then my 2.3. But the whole equipment was different so I cannot say how they actually differ. If I got a chance to have them in-house I will tell here what I found.

Cinematic systems, what piece of equipment did you use to measure the speaker's response? What weighting did you use?

No weighting,

MLSSA, a computer program with B&K microphone and preamp

ETF with calibrated microphone and preamp

version 2.0 (not my system)

Version 4.7? (my system)

My speakers measured on Version 5.9 calibrated microphone.

IMHO - It seems to me some people are missing the point of the thread. Cinematic systems is trying to create a scientific review to explain his side of a open ended question. I can write a hundred reasons why Cabernet Sauvignon is a better buy than white zinfandel but if someone likes white zin my recomendation is wrong for that person. Bunkeromantik is asking for an opinion not a thesis. I think we all agree Thiel speakers are a exceptional product. I think we all agree that the 2.4s are an upgrade to the 2.3s. Thiel doesn't produce a new model without significant justifiable improvements (the 3.6s long run shows that). Where the gray area is is in the amount of improvement vs. the cost. Only Bunkeromantik's ear can make that call. Bunkeromantik, with the reasonable prices I have seen on Audiogon for 3.6s and higher Thiel models, I would recommend upgrading past the 2.4s(if possible).

A pair of Thiel 5i's just went for 3K.That was the asking price anyway.What a steal!
I heard the 2.4's at Thiel Audio last year.
They are a great sounding speaker.

Cinematic-Why don't you post your reference system on AudiogoN instead of your "bedroom system" Seems strange to me.
