Thiel CS 1.5 vs Linn Katan


I've got the Linn Katan's and had them for a while now. The bug is back in the elusive quest for nirvana. There's a deal out here for a set of Thiel CS 1.5 and having not heard them, would like to know what you think about them in comparision to the Katans. I love audiogon and have such big appreciation for the community here! Thank you!

darn, so it doesn't sound like a good trade up. My rig's like this:
Audible Illusions L-1 Tube preamp
Jolida JD-100 CD Player
Linn LK-85 Amplifier X 2
Linn Katan Monitor Activ
REL Acoustics Storm Subwoofer
Harmonic Technology Truthlinks Interconnect
Linn K-400 Speaker cable
Virtual Dynamics Power 2 Power cord
PS Audio P-300 AC filter
The setup is very nice, but now looking towards a larger speaker to fill up the sound more. On the weekend, I heard a great transmission line 3 way IMF Studio Reference monitors and loved the way that the bass hit you in the chest. My friend then turned on a set of classic Rogers LS3a and I loved the warmth there in the vocals. Linns are known to be clean and analytical and the bass I find to be dry an even thin at times. Anyone want to recommend some larger speakers? I was thinking of going to a set of Totem Mani2's, not larger but much bigger sound!
