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?

Buy both, listen, decide.

And I think people here would enjoy reading about your impressions if you’re inclined to share them.
@patresi - 

Funny - I just bought a pair of CS2.2s.  Was only able to listen briefly, but in my room/system they were very good - airy and relaxed sounding.  Need to wait for the pins and speaker cable from the prior owner; but I like what I heard so far.  That said, they won't replace my main speakers (Monitor Audio GX300s) but I'm glad I have them.  

I used to work in a store that sold Vandersteen and the store owner loved them - I've never warmed up to them.  I can hear what people talk about with them, but they leave me flat.  Go figure.
