Thiels or Von Schweikerts

Hi All,'

Alas, I live in a place where it's almost impossible to easily audition the audio gear I lust for. I'm very soon going to be in the market for a new primary pair of speakers, and I know I love the Thiel sound. Any thoughts on how they compare to Von Schweikerts as a rule? I'd be looking for speakers that retail new for under $3500 or 4K

As usual, muchos gracias,

I have owned Thiel CS 2.3's and VSA VR-2's and VR4-JR's. Both designers make fine speakers. I do think they are very different flavors though. Overall I prefer the Von Schweikert sound. You really have to hear them with your own head though.

Please let us know what you eventually decide on and why. As a Thiel fan, one of these days I'm gonna have to hear some VS speakers to learn what all the fuss/excitement is about.

Will do; although, my decision might be a few months down the line. If/when I make the call, I'll start a thread to that effect.
