Why is he selling them if they're that good? |

Makes you think he just stole them for the first twenty. Thiels tend to be bright to many listener's ears. Some people love them and some people get driven out of the room by Thiels. I never found an amplifier that tamed the high end enough for my tastes. (And I sold Thiel for several years.) The LS3/5a's are capable of better staging and transparency than the Thiels with much simpler set up procedures. In just about every other way, they are polar opposites within the bounds of "audiophile" speakers; i.e., a Thiel is not a Klipsch. They do suck power and will frustrate anyone wanting Mike Wodek type SPL's. . |

I am not sure that even I want the SPL that Mike can do, in all honesty. However, if a current deal happens, I can dabble with Gallo's like Mike. Thanks, guys. |
