Happy Listening!

"I think the 1.7 replaces the 1.6, and will cost a lot more."

I am sure, seems like used 2.4 would be a lot better deal. At $3000 used price. The 2.4s perform way out of their price range when compared to new speaker prices.
Yeah too much money for a speaker with a 6.5" bass driver... I like my bass.

Anyone looking into these should try and demo/buy a used pair of 2.4s before they are all gone.
Well Crutchfield has the 2.7 listed for around $10,000 a pair. I still like my 2.4s and also like the 3.7s but at 10k I don't see the 2.7 selling.

If you can afford 10k you can afford 13 and that is a no brainier. Now at 13k there are lots of great speakers and thiel, while very good does not stand out. They just need a little more bass for my tastes and I keep looking at Wilsons and Revels. Wilsons with better bass and Revels with better highs and bass while the thiels have the best coherence (put the wilsons to shame) and great mids as a total package the other brands have appeal...

Hopefully the above post of 8k for the 2.7 is real and not a rumor.
