I've got to support Thiel. It's hard to pick an exact model, but I've heard a good number of them, and to my ears, they are the best all around speakers that I have heard. But if I had to vote for a particular model, then I'd say the CS3.6, which is what I bought. True, there are newer models that have more clarity, but the 3.6's sound very musical to me.

Yes, Martin Logan's can get my pulse rate up as well, but to me, they aren't quite as well rounded as comparable Thiel models. The older AR's are pretty darn impressive, too, especially when you consider their size and price. I have always thought that the TSW series from AR didn't receive the recognition that they deserve.

Any of these would be a welcome addition to my home. I currently have the Shahinians and love them to death.

Revel Ultima Salon and Studio coupled to a pair of B15's or a pair of the upcoming Sub 30's = probably the best combo of all time. No weaknesses whatsoever from 15hz up to over 30khz. True audiophile speakers. Image's like electrostatics without the inherant distortion, dynamics equal to horn loaded compression drivers, and bottom end presense equal to any live symphony. Anything less though from speakers in this price range simply is not acceptable performance.

Harmonic Precision Caravelle: And that was only the prototype.. Wondering how much better this innovative speaker will be when it finally does come to production..Tom
