You would probably like something from Audio Physic. You can probably find something used in your price range.
Affordable "Thiel type" speakers are?
Hi All,
I am a big fan of the Thiel's highly detailed, transparent, tight sound. In my main system in a smaller room I have 2.4s and in my secondary system in an 18x14x10 room 3.5s. I like the 3.5s a lot but the 2.4s are a clear step up in all respects except for bass depth. I have been looking for 3.6s within driving distance for almost a year with no luck. What I'm wondering is, is there any other candidate I should be considering if I come across it at a good price (i.e. $1400-$1700)? Again, my priorities are detail, transparency and tight bass.
Thanks in Advance

Not sure your find anything as the 2.4 are pretty nice at their list price and compare pretty well with speakers that cost more. Vandersteen (ugly) Usher' and magnepan 1.7s come to mind. There is a pair of usher Dancer Mini 2 on here way below normal price because they are stuffed. http://app.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-usher-mini-dancer-ii-be-beryllium-tweeter-2013-02-10-speakers-60657 |
Thanks Unsound, just what I would like to have, but I'm afraid of shipping damage even if in original boxes. If they were within 250 miles of me I'd be picking them up this weekend! Thanks also Steuspeed, but I've been doing the national Craigslist search for months. One would think some would have been listed, but none have been so far within 250 miles of Daytona Beach. I do know of some Revel F 50s within driving distance, but they can't be auditioned so I'm not sure if they would be a clear step up from my 3.5s in detail, transparency and bass taughtness. |
