Hyperion HPS 938 vs Thiel cs2.4

Hello,

Both are excellent value for money.
Did somebody have experience with both speakers?
Thanks.

The Hyperions are really excellent speakers(I am still using the DK Design). I heard the Thiel cs1.6 a few months ago and liked the tight bass and the sparkling highs and the sharp imaging. Heard a lot about the cs2.4 and saw a good deal on Audiogon. I was curious about them.

I know what you mean by the tight bass and sparkling hights with sharp imaging. That was my first impression. But the longer I listened to it, more fatigue set in. It is very nice on superbly well recorded CDs, but on your average CD it can get irritating. It does have sharp imaging but not realistic IMHO because the soundstage appears squashed.
