    Sounded great, good balance at the crossover points, fairly large and involved sounstage and image. The highs remained detailed, but also smooth. That is hard to find in a metal dome. You usually end up sacrificing stage/image for detail, not true with this and other Thiel loudspeakers.

    I'd love to have a pair myself.

    Hey Big Dan....I have always been a big fan of Theil since like back in the 80's, one of the 1st speaker companys with the degree of tweeter offset, that became all the rage....but that tweeter/mid combo sounds very smooth....The imageing and clarity were awsome...definately a step forward for them. Everything Russman describes....actually the 2.4 is a dream speaker of mine.
    I am reluctant to answer these kinds of threads though..hearing is very subjective. They are a very respected speaker in the snobby end of Audio....If you like em and you have the green......
