Affordable "Thiel type" speakers are?

Hi All,

I am a big fan of the Thiel's highly detailed, transparent, tight sound. In my main system in a smaller room I have 2.4s and in my secondary system in an 18x14x10 room 3.5s. I like the 3.5s a lot but the 2.4s are a clear step up in all respects except for bass depth. I have been looking for 3.6s within driving distance for almost a year with no luck. What I'm wondering is, is there any other candidate I should be considering if I come across it at a good price (i.e. $1400-$1700)? Again, my priorities are detail, transparency and tight bass.

Thanks in Advance

"but I'm afraid of shipping damage even if in original boxes."

The condition is rate only 5/10. What could possibly happen that would disappoint you in shipping.

Vandersteens don't sound like Thiels, but that's Johnny's response to every speaker thread because he is a Vandersteen dealer.

If the Revels are within driving distance go listen to them.

KEFs don't sound like Thiels either. Not even close.

"I think the Vandersteens share a lot in common with the Thiels"

I always considered Vandersteens and Thiels opposites.
