Thanks for all these great responses. I'm leaning toward the Thiel 7.2's as I've lived with the 2.3 for some years. Need to try many of your suggestions out. So far I have only listened to the Maggies 20.1 and Revel Salon. Neither worked for me. It is also rather frustrating as several of the suggestions above are not to be found in the NYC stores.
Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used
I currently have an upgraded pair of Thiel 2.3's that I have been happy with but am now ready to upgrade. I plan on listening to the Thiel 7.2 and the Wilson Sophias. I was wondering what others I should seach out? For 'classical' music only - big orchestra to solo instrument
