I see things the same way as Dtc (Depository Trust Company?). What once was the entry level line is now selling for more than what the top of the line once cost.
Years ago, my short list was reduced to Thiel CS 2's and the Vandersteen 2's. I spent a little(!) more and went with the Thiels. My old memory might be waning, but it seems as though the original Thiel CS 1's have about quadrupled in price, the original Thiel CS 2'shave about quintupled in price, and the original Vandersteen 2's have about doubled in price. At the current proposed pricing, I'm not so sure I would make the same choice. Of course I haven't heard the latest 1 series Thiels, but those Vandersteen 2's are sure looking like a bargain at the moment.
