TAD Evolution 1 vs Thiel CS3.7
"Specifically the $29,000 TAD Evolution 1, it is in the ball park of the $15,000 Thiel"That's one heulluva ball park. Akin to saying a Hyundai is in the ballpark of a Lexus. I guess so, you can buy either of them for under 100K.Shakey

Tyler Acoustics
Your electronics will severely limit any decent speakers for serious two channel audio.Shakey 
Shootout: Raidho C3.1 vs Vivid Giya 2

"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"
"These look nice and they sound great. Cost 8 grand new."Ahhh, ok.......Now you (don't) see 'em, now you don't.......Shakey 
Dunlavy SC IV or Merlin VSM M
"I am sure the moderstors would like to know about you."Oh I'm sure they do. Question is, do you think they care?Shakey
