Hi Art,
We had an exchange a while ago regarding my Thiel 2.3 and finally replacing with the Proc 2.5.
Well I just happened to audition the 1.6 yesterday in Nashville. My curiosity got the best of me after reading Absolute Sound. The 1.6 is DEFIANTELY A Thiel sound. For those who like that they sound quite good. But waaaay to bright and analytical for my tastes. They are just not "musical" and I could never listen for any length of time.
The Proac or "British sound" is just so much more realistic and musical. I can listen for hours and just continue to want more. The 1.6's would never accomplish that magic for me.
