Thiel 2.3 vs 2.4


I have 3.5's and love the deep bass.
I am tempted though to go with a newer and more modern speaker.
Im seeing some good deals on the 2.3's and Im wondering how much of a difference there is between the 2.3's and 2.4's
I have heard the 2.4's at Thiel and they are an incredible speaker!
I have become a devoted Thiel fan so please no other speaker recommendations.
My main concern is losing the deep bass of the 3.5's.
I understand the 2.3's only go down to 36hz or so.
Thanks in advance!

How do those Thiel subs work? There is a very expensive outboard processor of some kind in their product line, but it's not clear to me if you need that to use their sub in a two-channel system.
David, that seems a disproportional response. Personally, I appreciate
Cinematic's posts in this thread and welcome his point of view. (Just as I
appreciate your posts and your point of view, which I definitely do.) Thiel can
take the heat. Same for those other manufacturers. The conventional
wisdom needs to be questioned.

Sean has been as dismissive of highly-regarded products on many ocassions
and people around here seem to want to canonize the guy. Although, in
fairness, Sean tends to not name names, to be less direct, and to go into
greater detail about the reasons for his criticism.
If you get 2.4's, you might want to hang onto your 1.6's for a while before you sell them. I own 2.4's and, while they are very good, they did not turn out to be quite what I had hoped for, which was the 1.6 with more bass.
