I just sold a pair of thiel 1.5's here last week mint 1yr old for $1150.00. If your a shrud shopper you won't pay that price for those speakers. I haven't demo'd the .5 but the 1.5's would fill up a small room no problem. As a rule thiel speakers are best when given a little breathing room. Would recommend MIT cables for technical reasons. Unfortunatly to technical for me to understand.
