Thiel CS 2 2 vs Snell C IV

I have the great opportunity to buy just one pair at about the same price for my 2nd listening room. Which one would be more recommended?
The parameters:
1. room size: 24' x 18' listening room with vaulted ceiling
2. music genres: orchestral classic, jazz and some soft rock
3. gear: Conrad Johnson tube amps (PV12 + MV50), alternatively PV10 + Adcom GFA-555

The option of auditioning both in that room is not possible since one pair is not listed locally.

Thanks for your comments/suggestions.

P.S. As an owner of both the Snell A and Model B Minor (main listening room) I like their neutral sound and precision. Having had the Thiel CS3.5, I like the more modern combination of sound + looks.

Thanks everyone for their input and suggestions.

My favorite are the Snell B Minors (for music, I love my LaScalas for HT) but I guess I cant find an used pair under a grand (wishful thinking).

Ncarv: thanks for your very valuable input since you had them all. Wilson Audio is currently out of my reach so I am likely to end up with your suggestion to buy both, starting with the "grass look greener on the other side" CS 2.2 since that's a local buy and I still have my Snells to confuse my ears...
