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.

I have heard the CS5i's, and I own CS3.6's. If you have the room for them, and you have a good line on them, I would say snag the CS5i's and be happy! However, those are some huge speakers. In addition to not having a room large enough for them to fit in both aesthetically and musically, I know that my wife would never go for them. Which is a shame on all fronts, too, seeing as I had also found a killer deal on some lightly used CS5i's. Of course, I got a good deal on the 3.6's, too, and am very happy with them.

Sounds like you have a nice dilemma to find youself in!
