I've have heard the CS5i head to head against the 3.6's, but, not head to head with the others. The CS5i was better in every way to my ears. Mind you the CS5i seemed to be very fussy about amplification and room, not that the 3.6's are particularly easy in this regard either. Looking at the MSRP one quickly realizes that this is an apples to oranges comparison.
Thiel CS5i's VS other Thiel Lines
All:
I am a considering a purchase of a pair of used but extremely well taken care of Thiel CS5i's from a friend and audiophile on the west coast and would like to get the opinions of this group. In particular, I'd like to hear from those who have had experience with Thiel products and might be able to compare the relative merits of the Thiel 5Si's with the Thiel 7.2's, Thiel 6's and Thiel 3.6's. Any and all input from sound quality, applications, strengths/weaknesses would be greatly appreciated.
