thiel 3.7 owners

Almost sold my 3.7s being impatient  with the break in time and sound memory!I had a pair of 802 nautilus for awhile,thought they where something until I heard a pair of 2.4s.Sold the 802s for 2.4s.Loved them until got the chance to buy 3.7 .Out of the box they sounded horrible,thought I made the biggest mistake ever!thought I remembered better bass with both 802 and 2.4?Wasnt till I was at Magnolia  2 years later and heard a new pair of 802s and was not impressed!I was getting better sound from 3.7s and just just imagining that both my old speakers sounded better than  what I have now!Ive been chasing ghosts.Now I'm happier with my Thiels,and I'm glad I didn't sell them to start the whole process again!what I thought was better wasn't better at all!Sometimes memories aren't reality!

I've been looking for a slightly smaller speaker to replace my Thiel 3.7s (due only to ergonomic issues of a small room).
I have auditioned quite a list of speakers and I can't find better.  The 3.7s are just ridiculously good.  I was going to say "for the price" but they are still possibly the least coloured sounding speakers I've heard.  They make the inadequacies and coloration off other speakers stick out like a sore thumb.

I will hang on to them a while longer as my quest continues.
