Comments on Thiel CS2.2 speakers


I'm considering some Thiel CS 2.2 speakers. My current speakers are Vandersteen 2CI coupled with PS Audio HCA-2 and an older PS pre-amp. Front end is a Rotel CD player and Thorens turntable. Any thoughts from you experienced experts out there as to whether this is a viable, smart thing to do? Thanks in advance for any info. Your advice means a lot to this rural musicholic dummie!

Tom,
Having owned both, I dont think I'd give up my 2Ci so quickly for the 2.2. More of a lateral move, and just different sound. The 2.2 will have more detail and resolution, but are also leaner and somewhat more Vivid in their presentation( some may read "bright"..but it depends on the associated equipment.) The 2.2's are best with darker sound SS and tubes amps IMO. If you like the 2ci's how about looking at the 2CE sigs? :)
