PSB or Thiel? nOrh??

Hi all. I'm looking at upgrading my Infinity-based home theatre/"stereo" system. My taste is primarily rock (I'm a Rush fanatic), but my music collection contains alot of jazz, classical, country, and just about everything else you can think of except rap. My 5-year old Overture 2's are nice, but I suspect I can find better sound without spending insane amounts of money. ("Insane" - such a relative term...)

Of course, I spend as much time using the system as a home theatre as I spend listening to 2-channel music.

After doing alot of reading, I'm thinking PSB Stratus Goldi or Thiel 2.3 as the mainstays of the new system. I have no dealer near me to listen to any Thiel speakers, so I need the sages' advice before I buy.

For years I've read about nOrh speakers - does anyone have any experience with them? For the price of the used PSB's or Thiels I could pick up new top-of-the-line nOrhs.

I'm open to other suggestions in the 1k-2500 (used or new) price range.

Thanks!

Greetings Aggie!
I love my Thiel 3.5's! but they require far above average equipment to truly bless them! I listen to all types of music.....Keith Richards ..."main offender".....Pink Floyd.."the wall"...classical....jazz...Above all...remember!!do not waste your money and buy new!!! I never never never do!! I paid $600 for my Thiel 3.5's, they sold new for almost3k!. Sure they are not new...but in excellent shape! and....reference grade equipment, if it is truly..like the thiels(Rated A in stereophile)...is always great and your enjoyment will never decrease, because you really know the quality of your cd's and everything else...keep the best...burn the rest!!To me , there is nothing like a reavealing system and by the way...I looooove tube equipment! and if you look around...there is a strong revival of tubes!(not that they were ever dead!) Hope this helps you!
