Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II

Depends on the size of the room and the sub.. I think a single REL B1 would certainly do the trick.. A pair of B2's would also be sweet.

I owned Thiel 3.6's for 8 years. I added a REL Stadium II about 4 years after I got the Thiel's and it vastly improved them - and not just in the bottom end. When it was time to upgrade, I also wasn't thrilled with the 3.7's. I went a completely different direction and went with Magnepan 3.6's after listening to a lot of different speakers (Andra I's being one of them). They're a very different sound from everything else, but are simply amazing - provided you can feed them properly and live with their limitations (looks, placement, etc.).

Now I'm eagerly waiting to hear the new Magnepan 3.7's :)

Nice Gtb, Maggies are another speaker that has always fascinated me. I haven't spent alot of time with them but plan to some day. I'm still hot on Andra's...

The Andra II's are great speakers. So are the Maggies in a different way. But the Andras are probably better for rock. Plus the bass is really good.

Pops, it pains me somewhat to add another comment to this thread, but IF
you
get a really good piano recording- let's say Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata
(everyone likes the B-MLS, don't they?) and compare the sound of the andra's
and the thiels, i don't see how you can not fall in love with the egglestons.
as far as the bass extension is concerned the andra's reach down below 20Hz,
so i cannot see how anyone within reason can complain about the bottom
end.
And according to the audio beat, the tweeter is STILL "a head's length
better" than the $25K Wilson Sasha's? the Wilson's midrange was only
"slightly better?" JEEZ... hey, go back and read the reviews of the
andra I's and II's in stereophile if you like. BTW, the II's were evaluated in
conjunction with the "best amplifiers in the world!" (chuckle)- the
Halcro 58 Monoblocks. but i guess the andra's must have been a pretty good
speaker to listen through.
Look, even the Watt-Puppy 7's will stage better and image better than the
andra's, but which puts the subtle timbre of a plucked bass or a martin guitar
(okay, or a Steinway) into your room?
Anyway, whether or not you have alot of money, this is the opportunity to
trust your ears...
