Nice to you :)
So I'll wait for Mr Gillum's answer.
I'm french, i live in Paris and I discovered Thiel's speakers by buying to someone 3 MCS1, which 2 of them had the coaxial damaged. One central MCS1 (I'm selling it because I listen music more than watching movies) sounds good and amazing ! I tried it with an old 60's french tube amp : Jason A-2-25 : 25W with a great quality.
Awaiting for MCS1 repair, I use my TDL RTL 4 : uk speakers from the 90's, very good, but a bit too wet and confuse compared to MCS1, yet more bass.
I listen to various kind of music, mostly on vinyl : heavy metal, classical, french song...
