i still have not been able to decide between these two speakers, can anybody who have experience with this two recomend.
my other equipment is classe cdp-3, cp-35, ca-300. acoustic zen silver (xlr), matrix II and hollogram cables.
music is mostly jazz and vocals.
thanks in advance.

Both are great speakers, being time and phase coherent. You own't be disappointed with either system. The 2.4 is much improved over the 2.3, however. My personal choice earlier this year came down between the CS6s and the 3a Sigs w/ Subs. Vandys are more laid back and Thiels are a bit more forward and dynamic (my personal preference; I bought the CS6s). But you really can't go wrong with either choice. It's really up to how you perceive your overall listening experience, for jazz and vocals the Vandys will be excellent. The 2.4 will also take up a smaller footprint if that makes a difference to you. Your Classe gear should drive both without problem, though the Thiels always like to have as much current as possible. Let us know what you decide.
