Thiel 2.7 VS 3.7???

Well said Rcprince, that is exactly how the larger CS6 plays in my room versus my 3.6. Moving more air with more ease and more relaxed when pushed through a complex passage.

The 3.6 is an excellent speaker, I like to compare it a car going down the freeway at 80 mph - with the 3.6 you feel like your going 80 with the CS6 you feel like your going 50. That is what you get with a larger speaker.

That is the 12k question! I have never heard the 2.7 although I am sure i would love because I am a Thiel guy. I have come so close so many times to buying the 3.7, have heard it extensively at 2 separate showrooms with various components and could just never commit. The same reason Unsound mentioned above with the CS6, just such a big price jump for what I perceived to not be worth it compared to my 3.6. They sound great no doubt but for me to spend that much on a speaker I am hoping that will ride me off into the sunset. And I didn't get that during my time with them.

I would rather stretch a little further and find a speaker that would, that is why I am disappointed Thiel has no plans for a new statement speaker. I was sort of holding out for that! Sounds like you have some similar reservations. You might be better off staying pat, tough call.
