Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?

Hi Audiooracle,
I though you don't like the WP7 a lot from your old post. You think the WP8 a much better speaker than the 3.7 though! I have listened to the WP8. Like it a lot but the bass is somehow not smooth! I thought thiel 3.7 might have better bass or is easlier to place? As for match up. Which would be easlier to match with other equipments?

very different speakers. can't imagine you wouldn't like one, perhaps hate the other

I like the WP, I do not think it is the holy grail, and I do think there are way less expensive speakers that are really great such as the top of the line Ushers.

I have always felt that the Thiels are transparent but lack warmth, and are somewhat dynamically restricted where the WP are not.

The imaging of the WP is more specific and the transparency is better than te Thiels.

So the best bet... The 2nd hand WP8 and forget the Thiels 3.7??!! Anyone disagree??!!

Have you heard both speakers with familiar equipment? It sounds like you liked both but maybe heard them in different systems (I am assuming this is the case). It may be helpful to know what amplification and source(s) you will be using with the speaker and what your listening room is like.
