Thiel Cs 3.6. Outdated?

I went to a shop yesterday, bought myself a very nice Mccormack DNA 0.5 used. Anyway, the salesman had a Thiel 3.6 used for sale, the "claimed" price was $3300, here in Brazil high-end is very expensive so do not be freaked out by the price tag. I can talk the guy out to $2500, I believe, not less.

Anyway, I was very impressed with these speakers, the bass was so good... I'd never ask for more if I get these. I was wondering what is you guys take on it. Is it outdated? Are there better bang for the buck stuff out there? Will I get a comparable result with a bookshelf Dynaudio+ Rel Strata II subwoofer?

Jmabe,
I have owned a pair of 3.6's for almost nine years, and since then, I have made several improvements to my system, and each change has been readily audible. I have found the 3.6's to be so good as to justify any system upgrade that I can afford to make; I don't see my system outgrowing them for a long time. Just be aware that they will mercilessly reveal any shortcomings upstream, so select your other components carefully. Good luck! -- Alan
