I listened to a pair of B&W 804N's recently and must say I was extremely impressed. Huge soundstage while still staying extremely articulate. I owned the earlier Thiel CS 2's and while I enjoyed them, they were a bit too narrow in the sweet spot for my tastes. Both are excellent speakers though with the 804N's being at least 15 years newer (than the Thiels) that's another reason I'd go with the B&Ws as crossover design and driver technology has improved greatly over the years. Just my .02 cents...
