Thiel CS6 Compared with Eggleston Andra 1

L2L: Thanks for pointing this out. Whenever I encounter it, I get up on my soapbox and ask, why do designers spend untold amounts of money bringing to market very expensive and heavy speakers that, by design, intentionally destroy musical content by phase shifting out microdynamics and timbre through such an approach?

This is why Thiel and Vandersteen will, for me, always be the speakers of choice. They simply get it.

These were Jim's favorite speakers, they had and continue to have amazing dynamics, inner detail and bass extension well into the 20s, provided, however, that they are driven properly.

In the end I have not sold my CS6s and they are now back in my system singing wonderfully. I did upgrade my Manley Snappers to NeoClassic 250s in order to work with the CS6s. For the price it seems reasonable, that is one hell of a well made woofer. Have you looked at it?
