Thiel 1.6's or Quad 22L's ? Opinions Please.

I've pretty much decided to stay away from planers for my music listening tastes(electric blues.classic rock) my short list if the Thiel 1.6's and Quad 22L's. I'd like some opinions on these 2 choices. Current amp is a Rotel 1070 integrated and cd is soon to arrive Cary 308. I like a dynamic, lively sound-not quite Klipsch lively though.
Thanks,

Thanks, I think both have similar sound from what I read. I think the Rotel has enough oomph to drive the Thiels. The quads give great bang for the buck and can be had for less on the used market.
Thanks,

Thanks for the great input. My listening is generally confined to one sweet spot about 8-9' from the speaker plane. I've heard so many good things about the Thiels that they do interest me. I live a bit off the beaten path so live auditions are tough.That's why i solicite comments from my fellow 'Goners. Great input and thanks.

That's interesting. I guess the rotel is considered bright sounding. However, I hear the Thiels need lots of power to sound good an are not an easy load for many amps. Opinions? I'm also considering a sterling pair of 2.2's on 'Gon.
