Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4 the real difference

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.

Actually if you go to the item link below you can atleast see my speakers ATC SCM150, but alas I won't have a surround system till May when I move to my new place. So I'm short 5 channels right now. But I'm chomping at the bit to get My 7 Eton 11.2 AXM's built. Going to be a wicked system. I hate having to put "I'm a dealer" everytime I talk about my system.

I am upgrading My bedroom speaker to a sub satellite system using Morel/Peerless drivers. I'm in the process of building those no photos.

Item: 1117244877 , the third picture.

The little speakers on stands were custom made for my brothers theater and the big black speakers are custom made ATC SCM150's.


Not shown, ATC SCA2 and Meridian G08.

There you go

Cinematic-Your Fibre 18.2's look very well made.
Do they sound as good as they look?
How do they stack up against a similary sized/priced ATC?
Thank you for 'straightening' me out...dude :~)
