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?

I like both. Many years ago after nearly a year of auditions of many different speakers  at various dealers in the NYC tri-State area, it came down to these very two. I was already to buy the Vandy 2’s, when dealer suggested giving the Thiel CS 2’s a listen, well a few hours later I left with the Thiel’s. IMHO, the Vandy’s are warmer with deeper bass, the Thiel’s better in transient attack, and tighter bass. Matter of taste.
