These are two COMPLETELY different speakers. If you have upstream components that you believe are neutral to the source, and want to stay that way...go with the 3.7's. If you dont have that, AND still want to maintain your signature, go with the 3.7's. Now, if you are looking for a slight lean into the not so "resolving" arena, and prefer a more extended lower end, the WP's are the way to go. They have the ability to not so blatently provide you a picture of your upstream shortfalls compared to the 3.7's. Also, scratch the 10,000 dollar paint job on the WP's, and now your in a more realistic ballpark to compare cost vs peformance ratio. For heaven's sake, the finish on Wilson speakers look better than the finish on my Yamaha Grand piano...by a long shot.
Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?
The 2nd hand price of Wilson WP8 is dropping down fast! I am thinking of buying a pair of 3.7 but as the WP8's price is almost within reach, I wonder which is the better choice? I have CJ premier 350 and Herron Pre. Now using Thiel 3.6 with very good results. Wanting the next step up!!
