Thiels or Von Schweikerts

Hi All,' Alas, I live in a place where it's almost impossible to easily audition the audio gear I lust for. I'm very soon going to be in the market for a new primary pair of speakers, and I know I love the Thiel sound. Any thoughts on how they compare to Von Schweikerts as a rule? I'd be looking for speakers that retail new for under $3500 or 4K As usual, muchos gracias, the rustler Rustler  (Reviews | Threads | Answers | This Thread) 08-04-06
