Good to see you.  The 3.5 model is very popular here. Thank You for sharing your point of view.  Happy Listening!

rules - I love the 3.5. My decision to not include it in my upgrade program is based on lack of availability of drivers or a solution for modernizing the equalizer and the inherent bass-response limit for "modern" recordings. 

The product history and back-story is beyond the scope of this post. But the 2.2 in 1990 tested the adequacy of the passive radiator to extend bass response (depth and quantity.) The 2.2 succeeded and Thiel took that path. 

Just wanted to make the point that the 3.5 is much easier to drive then all the other thiel speakers if not too loud.

That's correct; however, I could crank up the volume on the 3.5s without distortion.
