Thiel 1.6 are a nice speaker, the Thiel 2.4 ($4200) are by far the best speaker I have heard on Musical Fidelity equipment. 1.6's seem to have issues with the tweeter going out at higher volumes. So if you listen loud, then these may not be a good option.
My experience with Triangle has been limited but it seemed like it needed hardware that was able to keep the bass tight. The A308 was very good at this, but I am not sure about the 3.2.
Recently I had a pair of T+A TAL XM bookshelf speakers and was blown away by them. This time it was a Musical Fidelity x-150 and these were by far the most transparent sounding. The range is down to 35hz, which is good for a bookshelf, but a tougher speaker to drive. The x-150 had no issues with it so I would expect 3.2 to have no issues. Though tough to find (www.audioport.com), at $2K msrp, these are worth trying out (www.taelektroakustik.com).
BTW, I am selling B&W 603 S1 speakers for $525 (includes decent cables for free). By all means if you have 2K to spend don't waste your time with these but if you want something to get started with let me know (kryptos1@yahoo.com). The 603's are going to be hard to part with.
