Upgrading from Thiel CS3.6 to Avalon
I've owned the CS1.5, CS2.2 and the CS2.3; you will find out that the Avalons' are much smoother, very coherent and projects a more stable image/soundstage. No forwardness or hardness in the midrange area YMMV...IMHO, Avalons' are superior...

New home for Avalon Ascendants
I always put an ad up but wanted to plant the seed for potential buyers since I'm unable to physically pack my speakers up from the front line, if you know what I mean...

Speakers for VAC sigma 160i -- need inputs
