Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8?


The 2nd hand price of Wilson WP8 is dropping down fast! I am thinking of buying a pair of 3.7 but as the WP8's price is almost within reach, I wonder which is the better choice? I have CJ premier 350 and Herron Pre. Now using Thiel 3.6 with very good results. Wanting the next step up!!

If you like the Thiel sound you are probably not going to like the Wilson's............ my opinion ....... I also owned 3.6's and loved them ........... heard several wilson models including the maxx II and didn't care for them ....... The wilsons were not detailed enough to my liking .......... I also drove my Thiels with a cj premier 350 my pre was a cj 16lsII .........

For what it is worth I now own focal 1007 Be and drive them with a Cary SLI 80F1 which is also a great combination .....
WAF is the only reason .............Otherwise I was looking into 7.2's .......... I started researching monitors and a member recommended that I look into the Focals...... After some research and deliberation I went in that direction ...... I like a lot of detail in my music especially in the mid to upper registers and the Thiels as do the focals provide that ...... If you heard the WP and liked them then perhaps they will work for you ....They just never pulled me into the music..... Good Luck .......
Not my wife she dislikes any floorstander............ She likes the Focals on stands ........... Go figure ........ I don't see much difference ....A monitor on a stand looks like a floorstander to me ...... But the Focals sound great and she is happy so in the end thats all that matters ...
