A little off the track, but four or five Thiel 3.5's make a superb surround sound system. the various locations tend to cancel out room resonances and without room correction allow their smooth bass to really make itself known. You haven't heard an organ at home until you hear 16hz on such a system.
Another oft overlooked consideration .... the 3.5's equalizers serve as a buffer for high impedance tube preamps feeding low impedance solid state amp inputs. This is particularly advantageous for me as I use ARC SP6a preamps into Outlaw M200 monoblocks (10k ohm inputs) to drive the system.
