Vandersteen 2c vs Thiel CS2


About the same price but which one is a better deal? What are the cons and pros of each? Currently have an Aragon amp with an emotiva preamp with Von Schweikert VR-1 speakers. Also an mk sub. What should I buy or just keep my current bookshelf ones?

Thiels have very pronounced treble. That gives them great imaging, air, and soundstaging, but can make them hard to listen to. I finally built a low-pass filter to tame them.

Can you kindly provide details of the low-pass filter?

Thanks for your quick response, I've used Jantzen 0.33mH foil coil in series to the coax xover to tame sibilance on bright recordings.
