Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs


Looking to upgrade. Currently have Vandersteen 2ce's which sound great, but have slight bass. So, I had to get a Velodyne FSR 12 to compensate, but this is not a really good match, I know. Anyway, I miss the bass that my old Thiel 03a's had by themselves. I'm guessing that Thiel 3.6's may cover all bases well. I'm not familiar with the VD 3 sigs, just hoping that they would cover the low frequencies better. Of course, the other option in to get the Vandersteen sub and keep the 2ce's. By the way, the speakers are powered by a Moscode 600 with a Rogue Audio 66 Magnum preamp. Any suggestions?

Getting lectured about Sophistication from a guy named Pepperdog........priceless.
If you can find an old copy of the Audio Perfectionist Journal, Richard Hardesty does an excellent comparison between Theil and Vandersteen.
I think price wise, a better comparison would be between the Theil's and the Quatro's.
I owned 3a sigs for a long time. The Quatro is a better speaker top to bottom. The 3a Sig is an excellent speaker but with the built in subs of the Quatro, the integration is better.
Theil's are good speakers but you must pay close attention to what components you use with them. Vandersteen's are more forgiving although the Quatro gets bright with the wrong electronics.
No Chad that's not quite correct. It's "sophoisticated" listeners. See the quote from his post:

>>they are made with cheap components and designed for the average music listener, not the sophoisticated one.<<

You'll have to admit, that pooperdog has a point here. We all cannot be as sophoisticated as he.
I understand that there is a revision to the 2CE sigs that have the same midrange driver as the 3asigs. Has anyone out there heard them? I spoke with Richard with hopes that I could upgrade my 2CEsigs but, he said that they are not upgradable...
