I concur 100% w/ sdcampbell. Very different speakers. To over-simplify, vandy's have a warmer richer sound, with the thiels being tighter (in the bass) and more cyrstalline (in the treble). FWIW, I've been a very happy vandy 2ce owner for about 3 years now. Hard to beat in their price range (used), though it sounds like you have a bit more cash to play with.
Vandy 2 or 3 Sig. Vs. Thiel CS2.2 or CS3.6 or ??
I am looking to purchase a used set of speakers and am considering the above models. Have any of you owned these..and if so, what are your thoughts? Any owners of both brands that have other favorites? I have a 12.5 by 25 ft. room with a high ceiling and big openings to other rooms and the BAT SE integrated.....Thanks.
