Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Bvdiman,Sasha is a little bit fuller and warmer than 3.7. But for tonal balance, coherence, especially flat response in bass department, 3.7 definitely beats down Sasha. I value these characters as top priority. Although Sasha is a little bit warm...

I set up my system on Saturday. Bryston BCD-1+Cardas Golden Reference Interconnect+MPS-2+BP26+Cardas Neutral Reference+7B SST2+Cardas Neutral Reference+Thiel 3.7. The sound quality is terrific. I like it very much. I will add details later.

MordanteI bought BP26+7B SST2 from audiogon, and I paid $7,350 for them. I am in US, audio gears are cheaper than GB.

James63,I think 3.7's base is more revealing and transparent. Sasha just has more base, but the quality is not as good as 3.7.

Edorr,I totally agree with you. 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
James63Unfortunately, I never heard CS 2.4. When Thiel presented 3.7 on 2007 CES, they used Bryston BCD-1+BP 26+28B SST to drive 3.7. James Tanner, VP of Bryston, mentioned that James Thiel spoke to him in person, that 28B SST combo made 3.7 to pr...

James63, it seems both of us are big fans of Thiel 3.7. 3.7 is a very power hungary speaker. It require high power and high current amp. Bryston BP 26+14B SST2(or 7B SST2) amps are not very expensive, but they can drive 3.7 extremely well. I order...

Peterayer, that dealer is awsome!

Roxy54, sorry for confusion. I mean it's difficult to hear two speakers with exact same upstream at one spot. Even if the dealer has such equipment, they are two heavy to be switched.

My point is both are great speakers, but I prefer Thiel 3.7, and it might be one of the best buy in High-End world. 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
I understand your reasoning. But I don't think there is a system can drive these two speakers very well. 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
8. Dynamic range: Both are great, a tie.9. Transient response: Both are great. 3.7's transient response is the best I've heard in any speakers. 3.7 win.10. Tonal balance: Both are great, 3.7 is silky smooth. I think it has an edge.

Thank you Pkoh70! I used Cardas golden refernce XLR interconnect cables between CD and preamp, and neutral reference for all other cables. I see Thield used Bryston combo to drive 3.7 in a couple big shows. I assume it's not a bad choice either. 
Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers?
Thank you Pkoh70!

I compared Neutral Reference and Golden Reference at dealer. But I prefer Neutral Reference as my dealer.Thanks everyone!
