@sdecker , your post got me to thinking past memory. I went back and looked at measurements for the other loudspeaker brands you mentioned. Of the ones I could find such measurements for, one brand surprised me for it's step response, though there...

@sdecker, while those  panel speakers might be somewhat better at time and phase coherence than most typical speakers, they don’t really qualify, as it still takes time to cross the surface of those drivers. The Quad ESL’63 are a notable exception...

I seem to recall a post here on Audiogon from a company representative not too long ago. It came  off as rather candid and sincere.

^For those that seem to appreciate the difference between coherent and non-coherent speakers, I think it’s a combination of conscious and unconscious appreciation. This might be especially true for the superior transient response, which is conscio...

^It’s not practical to expect Thiel or any other loudspeaker manufacturers to build speakers that come with their own dedicated rooms.I’ve suggested before that perhaps flat profile coincidental drivers with compensation for flush wall mounting co...

Ouch! 
High quality equalizers
It would seem to me that for an eq to be truly effective, it would need to allow the user to randomly select numerous frequencies and to be able to adjust slope. Perhaps a digital eq could provide better custom tailoring?

^In a small room such as yours, you could probably get away with one of those amps, perhaps comfortably. 
Thiel Owners
^Nice amps for Thiels. Unusually most users report better results through the single ended RCA inputs rather the balanced XLR inputs with these amps. I’d caution you about using these amps in bridged mono configuration with your Thiel’s. Typically... 
What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads?
Cable ads that fail to mention the length.

Should I sell my Oppo 205?
With the money gained from the sale, your unlikely to be able to replace it with anything that does anything it does much better, and it won't be able to do the other things .If this was sold with a different label through boutique stores at doubl...
