Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?

It all depends on whether phase and time coherence are important to you. Plus how can anyone like a speaker that intentionally reverses the phases of the midrange driver relative to the tweeter and woofer?

There is no way I would ever consider Wilson. Boom tiz is what you get and for more bux than they are worth. Thiel knows how implement accurate designs. WA is expensive paint with cheap drivers.

If you move away from Thiel and go to WA you will regret it. Take it from someone who did and learned the hard way.

I have heard the 3.7's and they are MUCH MUCH better than the 3.6's. I am not a huge fan of most Thiels but the 3.7's and the 7 series are very nice sounding. I have not heard the Wilson's but from what I gather reiterates what Stevecham says. All a matter of preference I guess.

If you like the Thiel sound you are probably not going to like the Wilson's............ my opinion ....... I also owned 3.6's and loved them ........... heard several wilson models including the maxx II and didn't care for them ....... The wilsons were not detailed enough to my liking .......... I also drove my Thiels with a cj premier 350 my pre was a cj 16lsII .........

For what it is worth I now own focal 1007 Be and drive them with a Cary SLI 80F1 which is also a great combination .....

I'd choose the Thiel's.

For what it is worth the Stereophile review of the Thiel 3.7s compares the watt puppy 8 directly to the 3.7 (same room same system). They start comparing the two toward the end.
