Thiel 2.4Special Edition or Marten Form/Dukes?

I imagine no one has ever compared Marten speakers to Thiel, but if those who have heard either independently please respond! I am interested in the new SE edition of the 2.4 from Thiels as well as the new Marten Form floor speakers or even the Marten Dukes.

Looking for deep bass impact (I know each is slightly below 40hz and realize they wont fill massive rooms), detailed and transparent sound. Enjoy rock music with slam, timing and bass you can feel in the chest (I know they all go not so deep). Will be driving with Pass XA60.5 monoblocks that go to 120 watts in 4 ohms. Thanks for suggestions.

If you want bass slam, get a sub-sat setup and spend less on the main speaker. (Think Paradigm signature bookshelfs with their 15" servo sub.) Your amp would be fine for now with these.

I have Thiel CS6s which go flat down to 28htz or so. I would not descibe them as capable of big slam without a sub even with my McCormack DNA-2 DLX amp which is 300 watts at 8ohm.
