I have a little experience with owning Thiel 1.2's. I think they were suppose to be phase and time coherent. At home I have never heard a speaker do most things as well as them. It seemed to me the musical cloth was all from one piece. No discontinuities. I could follow the scale up and down the piano without a noticeable bulge or reticence on a certain frequency, and not imagine it was real, because it sounded as real as it could get as a recording, even though that speaker was not state of the art even in Thiel's lineup. That allowed me to enjoy the flow and nuances of the musical presentation better than anything I have ever had. Some speakers convey an instrument truer in some senses than my Theils to me, and some have conveyed the recording venue better, or spacing of images, macro dynamics, and other attributes better, but not the whole musical package. To me the Thiel's presented a realistic presentation of the whole. It was to me, like everything presented fit. It doesn't seem to do it justice to break it down in descriptive terms but it seemed relatively speaking it didn't get more real the that.
So I have always been curious to hear the sound of Green Mtn spkrs. Maybe someday. I have heard Vandersten 2ce's, so while I didn't care for the warmness of the spkr I did notice a whole cloth sound that was easy to see the whole picture of the musical presentation.
