ProAc, Snell, Soliliquy, Spendor, Totem
I have both the Totem 1 and ProAc 1sc and have to agree that the ProAc have the most natural and non fatiguing sound of the two. Both are good but the ProAcs sound the best. 
Speaker Fetish
I hear ya man. Got the same disease, my home is starting to look like a stereo store. I am going to find that perfect one yet. But having all of those speakers around makes comparisons real kool. 
Help wanted in regards to monitors...
If you must go with monitors you will need good stands. IMHO I really like and own both the ProAc response 1SC and the Totem 1s, but comparing the two the ProAc wins hands down. But monitors have their limitations and if possible go with a full ra... 
Which MIT speaker cable?
I agree with "Megasam" like everthing else you will need to try the MIT cables to see if it works in your system. It does help control the top end yet it still leaves the detail. With Thiel speakers, MIT speaker cables are a must and match very we...

Also check with Echo Audio, they deal in used high end gear and usually have a great selection at very good prices. 
Speakers for BAT equipment
Has anyone heard this combination with ProAcs 2.5s or 3.8s. Any comments would be appreciated. 
Speakers for BAT equipment
Hello I also have a BAT VK-3i,VK 200, but using a Micromega Stage 6. Have tried using this combination with my Thiel 2.3s and did not like the sound, way to bright even with MIT cables. Went back to my Krell, VTL. Also have tried this combo on my ... 
Integrated Amp for Thiel 2.3 s ?
The MITs will definitely soften the high end and I believe its worth a try before changing the amp. My son is using an Aragon 8008st and AR LS3 preamp with Thiel 2.2s also went to the MIT MH 750s with good results (took that bright edge right off)... 
Integrated Amp for Thiel 2.3 s ?
I have had the same problem with my Thiel 2.3s and yes a tube preamp does go a long way to control the bright top end of the Thiels. I am currently using a Krell KST 100, VTL 2.5 Preamp with MIT MH750 cables with excellent results. So before you r...

Thiel 2.3--bright or harsh ?
Follow up response to "Pops" my son has an Aragon 8008st and had for a short time a pair Thiel 2.3s, same problem as with the Krell, too bright. It wasn't a good match. With Thiel 2.2s his current speaker the Aragon works much better but the 2.2a ... 
Thiel 2.3--bright or harsh ?
Hello I have experienced the same problem with my Thiel 2.3s and was ready to replace them with ProAc 2.5 which would also look good in our living room. The Thiels have a High WAF. I too am running a Krell, but the KST 100 Power amp which is surel... 
Thiel 2.3's Power Hungry??
The 2.3s do seem to like a lot of good quality power. I have used the following amps with my 2.3s in our rather small 12X15 living room, Aragon 8008 ST, Krell KST 100, McIntosh MC2205. All three sounded good, but the Aragon and the Krell sound a g...
