Thiel 1.6 vs 2.3 vs 3.6


I'm looking to get a pair of Thiel's, and I've really liked what I've auditioned. Given my budget, I'm considering 1.6's, 2.3's and 3.6's. I'm going to put them in my living room (14x18, hardwood floors - 14x29 counting the semi-attached dining room), and I'm driving them with an Adcom GFA 555-II amp from a Adcom GFP 565 preamp.

Any comments or suggestions?

I own Thiel 22's. My room is 15x17 and with 22's, I've had to position my speakers almost four feet into the room away from the front wall and almost three feet in from the side walls. With that in mind, I feel that the 3.6's would be a little on the large side for your room. If you are considering the 3.6's, I'm assuming your budget would allow you to add good musical sub to the 1.6's or upgrading to the 2.4's which is a huge improvement over the 2.3's.
