Surrounds for Thiel 3.6 system?

Hoggen,
I have a pair of Thiel original SCS which were designed specificaly for surround. I had a matching center but later sold it. They were matched with a pair of 22's until I sold those as well. The SCS is designed to be placed against the wall. They are very heavy for wall mounting but is possible if you anchor into a stud. Typical Thiel quality, a 2-way coaxial design which is ideal for surround. They are in black ash and in very good condition. Let me know.

I'm using Paradigm Reference ADPs with my CS7.2s and don't feel the need to upgrade. They blend well with the Thiels and provide a nice wrap around effect that I didn't get when using a pair of Matrix 805s. The ADPs are dipoles which mount on the wall up and out of the way. They retail for 900, but you can usually get a good discount on Paradigms.

You might want to consider the Vandersteen VCC-1 center channel speaker. It has a single, high quality 6.5" coaxial speaker, so it provides a "point source" type of sound that should match well with the Thiels. The VCC-1 also has a proximity switch (on the back) which allows you to contour the sound for how the speaker is placed -- close to a boundary (like on top of the TV), or stand-mounted in front of the TV. With regard to the side/rear surrounds: you didn't indicate if you want dipole or direct-radiating models. I am currently using a pair of Coincident Technology Tiumph Signature speakers as rear surrounds, and am very pleased with them: above-average efficiency, very clean, and close to full-range.

I have to agree on the SCS's. I have 3 of them used as center and surrounds. They have been used along with 2 2's and now 5i's. They integrate very well. Extremely well built coaxial speaker.
