Are Thiel 2.3 much better than the 2 2's?


I'd like to upgrade from Thiel 2 2's, and the 2.3's are appealing.

1) Based on your experience, are they much better than the 2 2's? (I live in a remote area - the nearest 2.3's are like 1,000 miles away, so I can't go listen.)

2) What other speaker in the 2.3 price would you recommend instead?

Thank you.

The 2.3's are an excellent speaker,but I do agree with everyones comments on the brightness.However,if these speakers have had the upgrade apllied,new mid-tweeter and components changed on the crossovers,they are absolutely stunning.I considered parting with mine until I did the upgrade.Now,they will never leave my residence.I have not heard the 2.2's and cannot comment on them.But,I highly recommend the 2.3's.This upgrade seemed to make the speaker more efficient.I use CJ tube equipment and the amps had a hard time driving them until the mod.My system has been reborn due to the upgrade and I no longer look for other pieces to change out.If you would like to see the upgrade procedure for the 2.3's,I can e-mail you the info.I believe the upgrade runs in the 300-400 dollar range.It is well worth it.Good Luck with what ever you choose.
